Coat Hanger and Ladder "Dilemma" Design Giancarlo Piretti for Castilia, 198
About the Item
We knew that gian carlo piretti was a genius, the plia and plona chairs, above all, are an immortal example of design, but few knew that it could be surpassed ...
now you know it too, looking at the photos of this very rare heirloom, the "dilemma" coat rack, designed for the newborn (... at the time) Castilia: an object that, in the blink of an eye, turns into a staircase with five steps, very useful in every home and office, and just as quickly it closes on itself and rests on the base
Brilliant !!!
Coming out of its base, the coat hanger transforms into a compass ladder with three uprights - equipped with solid steps in die-cast aluminum - which, if necessary and once repositioned in its base, returns to being a coat hanger.
Almost 2 meters high, more than good condition, expertly reproduced pair of hooks, very few specimens in the world, signed under the base
Museum-worthy !!!
