Made up of three wooden legs, the Kiila coat rack is simple and sturdy. Inspired by the camera tripod on which designer Daniel Rybakken hung his coats, Kiila has a low centre of gravity and can support a lot of weight without tipping over. Like all the pieces in the line, its construction has been made transparent: the metal joint has been deliberately left visible, contrasting with the solid ash legs. Robust yet elegant, the Kiila coat rack offers practical storage for jackets, bags and other items, even in the smallest of rooms.
Founded in 1935, Artek is committed to "selling furniture and promoting a culture of modern housing through exhibitions and other educational means." The founders, Aino and Alvar Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl decided to undertake an artistic synthesis by combining architecture, design and urbanism.
Artek has produced the greatest classics of the 20th century, such as Chair 65 and Pendant Light A330. Timeless functionality and aesthetics define each product. Most of the creations were designed by Alvar Aalto, but Artek also worked closely with international designers such as Naoto Fukasawa and Enzo Mari.
