About the Item

Italian vintage COBRA coat rack by Elio Martinelli - Iconic 1970s Space Age design. Be captivated by the unique appeal of the COBRA coat rack, a masterpiece of Italian design by Elio Martinelli, dating back to the iconic 1970s. This extraordinary piece of furniture embodies the visionary spirit of the Space Age movement, with its fluid forms, innovative materials and surprising functionality, still relevant and fascinating today. Made of sturdy metal painted white, the COBRA model is embellished with plastic details that serve as practical extensions for hanging jackets, coats, scarves and accessories. The plastic trims, seamlessly integrated into the design, add an extra touch of sophistication while maintaining consistency with the futuristic, light-hearted style of the era. One of the most distinctive elements of COBRA is the presence of the umbrella stands integrated into the structure, designed to resemble the petals of a flower. This stylistic choice not only makes the coat rack aesthetically original, but also enhances its functionality, turning it into a true sculptural object. The undulating base, whose sinuous shape is reminiscent of a cobra in an attacking position, lends stability and character to the entire composition. Perfect for furnishing contemporary settings, glamorous spaces or vintage-style interiors, this coat rack is ideal for those who wish to include a touch of signature design in their home, office or showroom. The COBRA coat rack is not just a useful object: it is a work of design that tells a story, a conscious and sophisticated choice of style.
