ABOUT PRODUCTID 2680
The Coat Tree floor-standing coat rack, designed by Sidse Werner for Fritz Hansen in 1971, is a striking example of Danish modernism where function meets sculptural lightness. The structure features bent, tubular metal with a highly reflective chrome finish, forming the silhouette of a stylized tree. Matte black spherical ends cap each branch, serving both as a visual accent and as practical protection for garments. The proportions are thoughtfully balanced: at 193 cm high and 63 cm wide, it accommodates several heavy coats, while the substantial base ensures stability. The palette is defined by cool silver and black tones. The metal surface remains smooth and glossy, showing no visible wear or patina. The rack is preserved in excellent, near-original condition. This is an object that tells the story of the 1970s—a decade when Danish designers sought harmony between daily utility and abstract form. Inspired by a subway map, the Coat Tree alludes to the rhythm of urban life: its dynamic lines and branching arms evoke the organized chaos of city movement. The chrome surface reflects light and surroundings, inviting playful interaction with space. Each bent rod is a gesture of confidence and discreet boldness—the rack seems to declare that even an everyday object can embody the spirit of its era. The Coat Tree can be placed in a spacious hallway or living room with a distinctly modern interior. It fits seamlessly into a minimalist mid-century modern setting as well as an eclectic apartment filled with collectible pieces. It may be paired with a simple bench or teak shoe cabinet; nearby, a monochrome graphic or large mirror will echo the rhythm of its metal arms. Against pale walls and in natural light, the rack enhances the architectural airiness of the space, while a backdrop of colorful textiles or industrial accents will give it a more urban, dynamic character.
