This postmodern style coat rack is a perfect example of how to successfully transform everyday objects into works of art. Featuring an essential and sophisticated design, The "Lolo" coat rack features a 56 cm diameter round beveled Carrara marble base that provides a stable foundation for the four Black enameled metal stems. These stems extend upward and terminate in 10cm diameter round tapered Carrara marble hooks, which not only offer a visually appealing contrast but also add a touch of luxury to the design. Smaller Black metal hooks protrude from the marble, providing additional flexibility for hanging clothes, jackets, hats, and other accessories. The high quality of the materials used but above all the craftsmanship of the Carrara marble that is polished and ground to perfection, recalls the splendid objects and furniture designed by another giant of Italian design: Angelo Mangiarotti. Both these designers have transported the precious raw materials that the Italian territory offers and the great skills of the local artisans in the 20th century with a surprisingly beautiful and modern result. The coat rack is in good vintage condition, it has minimal signs of use and time on the black enamel and a stain on the marble base visible in the photos. The total size of this 70s coat rack is 56cm in diameter by 165cm in height. Reach out for any questions This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
