Like many pieces in the Artek collection, the Kiila Coat Rack displays its construction proudly, with wedge joints and pins left purposefully visible. The design is straightforward and clean, the twin supports of solid ash connected by a horizontal rack made of bent sheet steel, the connective pins doubling up as hooks for hanging bags and other items, providing even more storage and practical versatility. Strong enough to support large bags and heavy winter coats, the Kiila Coat Rack provides an elegance meant to last. A Coat Stand is also available in the collection.
