The design is understated yet highly sophisticated: a vertical backplate with soft rounded edges supports a generously proportioned hook, whose fluid curvature creates a natural resting point for garments while maintaining a strong graphic presence on the wall. The brass surfaces retain a beautiful original patina, developed naturally over time. Subtle variations in tone, oxidation marks, and fine surface wear attest to age and authenticity, enhancing their depth and character rather than detracting from it. The patina reads warm, nuanced, and unmistakably mid-century. All four pieces are stamped “Azucena”, confirming production by the celebrated Milanese firm known for its uncompromising quality and close collaborations with leading Italian architects and designers, including Luigi Caccia Dominioni. The design language — rational, elegant, and quietly luxurious — is entirely consistent with his work. Extremely versatile, these hooks can be installed individually or aligned as a rhythmic composition in an entryway, dressing room, bedroom, or bathroom. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
