Simetria
flat-pack coat rack
2014
The name of the coat stand reflects the symmetrical construction arising from the rotation and mirroring of a single wooden part. This design principle provides multiple benefits. It facilitates production and reduces consumption of materials, permits easy assembly and dismantling as well as well flat-pack transport.
Being composed of a single element, i.e. massive oak sticks, Simetria was a challenging task for us, implying the quest for an expressive impression combined with the functionality derived from minimum means. The coat stand is symmetrical on both axes but its appearance changes depending on the perspective: from a serene mathematical sculpture to a vibrant and almost disorganized composition.
Simetria is very practical: it is delivered in a flat pack, easy to assemble and has seamless joints. A relatively prosaic typology has been transposed into the pleasure of designing.
