"Acate" Brass Little Tree-like Coat Hanger Designed by Borek Sipek for Driade

About the Item

"Acate" is an iconic coat hanger, designed by Borek Sipek and manufactured by Driade, featuring a matte brass structure with polished brass leaves. Indoor use only. DIMENSIONS: D. 16.5", W. 18.8", H. 69.2" The more an object functional is, the more it has to be poetic: here's the method Borek Sipek followed while creating Acate coat hanger. Czech designer chose a bundle of golden brass twigs which can really make some forgotten spots "flourish". This metal sapling required a craftsmanship close to art to be made. Many leaves can work as hangers for coats, scarfs and bags too. Here's a poetic imitation of a capricious nature: shoots becoming entangled as they were driven by love passion, which weave and tie them forever. It's a functional object evoking emotions without being useless, a piece of nature gracefully made immortal, a bundle of twigs which will never dry out. Thus you will automatically think about Greek myth of Daphne, who was changed into a laurel to escape the lustful Apollo, but especially about branches by Diego Giacometti and eternal bronze trees by Alik Cavaliere. Borek Sipek never stopped exploring craftmanship's infinite world and used the most ancient techniques and materials to create original and evocative pieces of design. BOREK SIPEK was a worldwide known architect and designer, reputable professor, visionary, cosmopolitan, postmodernist, self-made man, excellent cook, admirer of the Asian culture. The life of Borek Sipek is a typical story about big world self-made men. He's often compared to a male Cinderella. At the age of fifteen, he became an orphan. At nineteen, having nothing, he emigrated to Germany. Before emigrating he had graduated from an applied arts secondary school in Prague in the field of furniture construction. Before entering the university in Germany, he worked as a cabinetmaker. Thanks to the scholarship, he graduated from architecture in Hamburg and philosophy in Stuttgart. He taught design at universities in Hannover, Essen and then in Prague for many years. Sipek's first significant success was a glass house for his sister, for which he was awarded the German Architecture Prize in 1984. The world opened up for him and he moved to Amsterdam because he was attracted to the liberal atmosphere of this cosmopolitan city. In the middle of eighties he was contacted by the most prestigious Italian design company Driade. Cooperation with Driade was the beginning of the skyrocketing career of "the most distinguished contemporary designer" who "evokes the longing for magic in this horrid realistic world". Driade published his new catalogue where Sipek's work was on offer, which proved his importance to the company. At that time, only four people had their own catalogue – French Philippe Starck, Spanish Oscar Tusquets, Italian Antonia Astori, and Czech Boﬁek Sipek. Also thanks to the name Driade, people became more interested in his work and orders from other known and unknown firms soon came in. The Netherlands was struck by the Sipek-mania and Sipek started to aim at exclusive products produced in small quantities; he especially like to design chairs or other pieces of furniture, cutlery, glass, china, vases or lamps and other home accessories. And thanks to Driade, Sipek was also able to explore Asia and his own passion for Asian culture and Eastern thinking in general.

Italian Design Coat Hanger Studio BBPR for Kartell

By Kartell, Studio BBPR

Located in bari, IT

A Space Age design with the coat hanger by Studio BBPR. Graduates of the Milan Polytechnic, the four designers in their early work followed the themes of Italian Rationalism of the 1930s, although they were not an integral part of the main 'Group 7' Movement and MIAR, they collaborated on some projects with Figini and Pollini; these compositional canons can be clearly read in an exemplary building such as the colonia elioterapica in Legnano (1938), where they also realised popular housing units, the so-called Le Grazie working-class neighbourhood (1940-1942). They distinguished themselves for various town-planning schemes, the Pavia Master Plan (1932), the Tourism Plan for the Island of Elba (1939), and above all for the most important and far-reaching, the Valle d'Aosta Master Plan (1936-1937). During this period they took an active part in the controversy that arose between rationalists and traditionalists and at first, like others, felt they could support the clash for freedom of expression and the triumph of modern architecture within fascism, but after the introduction of the racial laws of 1938 that also affected one of their collaborators, the BBPR architects...
