About the Item

A Mid-Century Modern sculptural coat rack/ hat tree designed by Edward G. Livingston for Archotypo studio, c. 1960s. Handcrafted in solid walnut, “Archotypo LXIX” impressed under the base.  This modern art coat rack is constructed from a series of unique shaped and organically cut solid Claro Walnut slabs. The artist’s coat rack design exemplifies his skill in articulating the plasticity of a wood medium. This is further enhanced by his outstanding sense of three-dimensional space to create a fully functional sculptural piece. This wooden standing sculpture can be used in almost any room for hanging or displaying many different types of objects. Examples of free standing coat racks by Designer Craftsmen from this postwar modern era often seem rare. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Edward G. Livingston (Oregon 1931 - ) Ed Livingston, an American architect turned designer craftsman, started Archotypo furniture studio in 1966. Ed Livingston, exhibited at galleries and museums throughout California, Oregon and Washington, during the 1960s & 1970s.

Ed Livingston’s work is in the permanent collection of the Smithsonian’s Renwick Gallery.
