Post Modern L'albero Dei Cappelli Coat Rack by Ugo Nespolo for Origlia Pragma

About the Item

"L'albero dei cappelli" the "hat tree" is a sculpture more than a simple home object, in fact since the early seventies Ugo Nespolo has been working with the concept of "bringing art into life", an operation that will imply the relationship with Applied Art and the attempt to combine the two distinct souls of the culture. Designed during the 80s for Origlia, "The hat tree" it is an object that fully represents his playful, colorful and almost childish style. Painted wooden coat stand with wooden knobs and cast iron base. Instead of knobs we find a series of 10 different headdresses both in color and type and following the logic, the function of the knobs is also to be able to place the hats on them. Ugo Nespolo was a significant Italian artist who worked in many fields. He designed costumes and sets for the opera house. he was a director, ceramist, painter, designer, writer and theorist: don't miss the chance to enjoy the color and the apparent light-heartedness it gives to the home with one of his works. The coat rack is in good vintage condition.
