apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

That's not a coat hanger, it's a coat rack, or hall tree, or coat stand but, not a coat hanger.

Wording tweaked.

maybe it could be a coat tree?

I like it, how muchy?? I couldn't get the price off the website.

Probably very expensive, like everything from Cappellini.

They have showrooms in LA and NY, here is that info from the downloadable catalog:

And they should be able to tell us the price.

I was thinking that would make for a splendid floor lamp, by lining the inside with rice paper (the paper that is on shoji screens) and having an up-light inside it.

Not only would it glow, but the curlicues would be transferred to the walls.

I can also see hanging the tear drop lead crystals on the curlicues (no paper) and using a clear bulb, whatever kind is used at jewelry stores that makes diamonds sparkle.

And it would make a really great trellis on top of a round pot of the same color.

I like that thing.

It seems weird to hang a coat on something that isn't like a coat rack. It's not so designed that I'd call it art just for the purpose of standing there to look at, but once you throw coats onto "might-be-a-hook," it starts to look like crap, in the way that your chair and your exercise equipment look like crap when you use them to hang your clothes instead of hooks and hangers. It transcends being a coat rack the second you use it for one and it looks improper.

I like TRUE BLUE's ideas, but then I usually do anyway. If anything that's been featured on AT as repurposed as a lamp is a lamp, this coat rack surely could be.

It's hard to tell without seeing it in person. Afterall, this thing is 5'7 ft tall.

Not to hang your coat, but I bet you could have a ton of fun with that puffy paint:

making curlicues on these:

I don't know if that would work, but buying a tall paper lamp and doing curlicues would be a lot less expensive, I'm sure.
