This striking coat rack is a fine example of Bauhaus-influenced Czech design, attributed to the renowned manufacturer Hynek Gottwald and dating to the 1940s. Gottwald's workshop was celebrated for its pioneering use of chrome-plated tubular steel, a hallmark of the Bauhaus movement's embrace of industrial materials in everyday objects. Standing at an impressive 184 cm tall with a compact 50 x 50 cm footprint, this coat rack combines a sculptural, minimalist silhouette with genuine functionality, making it a striking statement piece for an entryway, hallway, or bedroom corner.
Condition & Character Original condition with heavy signs of use, including one large scratch on the body. The chrome surfaces show heavy, age-appropriate wear consistent with decades of use, and there is one noticeable larger scratch on the body of the rack. The piece remains structurally stable and fully functional. Please review the detailed photos to inspect the exact location and extent of the wear and scratch before purchasing.
