Tito Agnoli bamboo and leather coat rack for Bonacina, Italy, 1960s
-
Description
This rattan coat hanger, designed by Tito Agnoli for Bonacina in the early 1960s, reveals the quiet precision of Italian craftsmanship from that period. The structure combines curved rattan and bamboo elements with fine bindings that give depth and rhythm to the surface. Its light geometry conveys both strength and transparency, making it a refined presence within the interior space.
Five leather straps support solid wooden hooks, introducing a tactile contrast to the warm, natural tones of the rattan. The materials, aged with grace, carry the marks of time and workmanship, turning a functional object into something deeply expressive. The design of this coat rack speaks through proportion and texture rather than ornament, achieving elegance through restraint.
Tito Agnoli (1931–2012) was trained as an architect, and his work reflects an architectural sense of order softened by an instinct for material balance. In collaboration with Bonacina, a company renowned since the late 19th century for its skill in shaping rattan, he explored forms that were simple yet full of character—objects made to endure through their clarity and craftsmanship.
