Description

CNC machining is used to shape the bespoke aluminium collars, which are later hand polished. The solid hardwood arm/leg components are constructed using a variety of woodworking processes. The arms of the coat stand feature an undulating shaped end for easy hanging of bags/ clothing and the multi-tiered hooks further stabilise the coat stand by lowering its centre of gravity.
