Woodpecker coat stand

Tommaso Nani & Noa Ikeuchi

Prototype

This Italian-Japanese pair, Tommaso Nani and Noa Ikeuchi, cite abstract geometry and the dynamic relation of force and space as key components in their design strategy. That’s all very well but we’re seduced less by the lofty intention and more by the barely there practicality of their Woodpecker coat stand. The design couldn’t be simpler, consisting of a plexiglass tube and lime wood pegs, which can be inserted or removed according to how many guests you have. Come summer when coats and things to hang are in short supply, you can take it to pieces and store it away for a rainy day.
