Osvaldo Borsani 'AT15', Revolving Coat Rack, for Tecno, 1961 Completely Original

About the Item

Rare, supremely elegant and innovative 'AT15' revolving panel coatrack designed in 1961 by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno, Italy. A sophisticated and refined fixture, perfect for a luxurious entrance hall. The rotating panel is mounted onto two off center swivel points, top and bottom which allow the panel to be swung through 180 degrees, the swivel points are integral to an enameled steel structural frame which is screwed to the wall. One side of the coat rack panel features eight beautiful hardwood mahogany ovoid form hooks mounted on perforated nickel plated brass stems which are arranged in a decorative pattern, the simplicity and elegance of this design is that it allows for the clutter of coats, hats, umbrellas etc to be swivelled out of sight leaving the view of an abstract minimalist sculptural form suspended in mid air. Both faces of the rotating panel still retain the original period sage green fabric which shows some signs of fading and wear commensurate with age and use, with this being such a nice, completely original unrestored and period authentic example we have decided to retain the original fabric rather than replace it. To sum up, this is a lovely completely unrestored original example; original fabric, original wood finish, original enamel and chrome finish. The 'AT15' coatrack is a rare find today and even more so in such a nice original unaltered state.

Sculptural form brass day bed by Osvaldo Borsani, Arredamento Borsani, circa 1958

By Arredamenti Borsani, Arnaldo Pomodoro, Osvaldo Borsani

Located in bergen op zoom, NL

Beautiful and important sculpturakl form brass single bed or day bed circa 1958-1963 by Osvaldo Borsani for 'Arredamento Borsani', Varedo , Italy. The small series of Borsani beds designed were produced in several different designs ,each in very limited numbers and all hand made by the Arredamento Borsani in Varedo, italy. This series of beds never went into serial industrial production , a fact confirmed to me by the Arredamento Borsani archives. Beginning in the late 1950s,Osvaldo Borsani went on to collaborate with many great artists such as Lucio Fontana, Fausto Melotti, Agenore Fabbri, Aligi Sassu and Arnaldo Pomodoro, amongst others entrusting each to provide decorative elements to his designs. The brass headboard features a series of heavy cast solid brass interlocking geometric elements each featuring a beautiful organic three dimensional surface finish creating a supremely elegant and timeless repetitive motif . The bed still retains all its original decorative brass nuts ,bolts and finials which feature the same three dimensional decorative finish as the decorative sculptural forms contained in the headboard. We have had a new bespoke mattress and bolster pillow made with a natural latex foam surface as they would have originally had which also has the benefit that latex breathes. The mattress has an opulent decorative buttoned finish . Botht the mattress and pillow have been finished in 100% wool 'PLOEGWOOL' fabric by the high quality Dutch fabric manufacturer DE PLOEG. MATTRESS DIMENSIONS : Width 100cm x length 200cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 6ft 6.74inch BOLSTER PILLOW DIMENSIONS: Width 100cm diameter 24cm / 3ft 3.37inch x 9.45inch The mattress is supported on a 20mm ( 0.75 inch ) thick plywood board ,with breathing holes, which spans across the transverse brass plated steel frame elements. When used as a day bed SEATING...
