Bring an icon of Dutch Design into your home with the original 'Toonladder' wall-mounted coat rack, designed by Tjerk Reijenga for Pilastro in the 1950s. This minimalist mid-century modern coat rack (also known as the Servo Muto) is an absolute classic of post-war Dutch design. The sleek, black-lacquered metal frame, with its horizontal lines, is instantly reminiscent of a musical staff. The iconic, folded sheet-metal hooks act as 'musical notes' that can be slid and arranged along the frame to suit your preference. Why this is a unique vintage design icon: While the early basic concept for the 'musical scale' coat rack was originally conceived by Coen de Vries (for DEVO, using round tubing), Tjerk Reijenga perfected the design for Pilastro with a sleeker frame made of square tubing and the distinctive flat, stamped metal hooks. This specific piece is the sought-after Pilastro version.
