Vip coat rack and umbrella stand designed by paolo orlandini and roberto lucci for velca, italy, 1970s.
an iconic example of italian space age design, the vip coat rack transforms a functional everyday object into a sculptural and highly expressive design piece.
designed in the 1970s by lucci & orlandini for velca milano, this piece reflects the experimental spirit of italian industrial design, where modularity, new materials and bold forms defined a new aesthetic language.
the structure is composed of stacked cylindrical elements, allowing for modular height adjustment while also improving transportability and structural flexibility — a forward-thinking solution for its time.
made of abs plastic with chrome-plated metal details and a weighted base for stability, the design combines lightness, durability and visual impact. The rotating hooks and integrated umbrella stand system enhance its functionality while maintaining a strong sculptural presence.
the deep dark finish paired with chrome elements gives the piece a refined, almost architectural character, making it suitable as both a functional object and a statement design sculpture in contemporary interiors.
in very good vintage condition with minor signs of age consistent with use.
a highly representative example of 1970s italian industrial and space age design.
