At 16 Coat Rack by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno
The AT 16 was originally designed by Osvaldo Borsani for Tecno in 1961. This example is from the 2012 limited re-edition, purchased directly from the Tecno showroom in Milan. The central structure is comprised of an external leather-wrapped aluminum tube, and two sliding concentric tubes in black anodized aluminum. Polished aluminum rings act as the locking mechanisms for the tubes, and can be loosened to adjust the height. The adjustable brushed stainless steel bars cross through the central tube and hold the spheres. The spheres themselves are beech, stained in different colors and range in size from 1.25″ to 3.5″. The rack is installed via a floor mounted anti-skid disc in polished aluminum and a brass plug set in the ceiling (see photos for top and bottom installation components). Embossed ‘Tecno’ manufacturer mark in the leather. Height adjustability: 106.25″ to maximum 126″ L / D: 27.25″ maximum.
