This floor-to-ceiling coat rack, crafted by the renowned f.lli proserpio, is a masterclass in linear geometry and material warmth.

the structure features a rhythmic sequence of horizontal teak-veneered solid wood slats. Each slat is finished with subtly rounded edges, creating a soft architectural dynamism that catches the light beautifully. The warmth of the teak is perfectly juxtaposed against the industrial soul of the hand-forged black lacquered iron components. Equipped with four original hand-wrought iron hangers, finished in a deep matte black lacquer.

the iron feet (top and bottom) are extendable by approximately 8 cm in total (4+4), allowing for a precise fit within your space. Designed for wall-mounting via discreet brackets located on the upper slat, ensuring a secure and flush fit.

this piece has undergone a professional conservative restoration. It remains solid, robust, and ready for daily use. Minor vintage traces remain, preserving an authentic patina that tells its seventy-year history. A rare find for collectors, this rack transforms a functional necessity into a sculptural statement of italian heritage.
