Item Description

An elegant and highly functional towel rack or coat rack designed by Makio Hasuike for Gedy, exemplifying the designer’s refined approach to everyday objects. Combining clean geometric lines with practical versatility, the piece reflects the understated sophistication of Italian industrial design from the late twentieth century. Constructed from plastic-coated steel with ABS plastic components, the rack features a minimalist yet sculptural silhouette that is equally suited for use in a bathroom, hallway, bedroom, or dressing area. Its balanced proportions and thoughtful detailing allow it to function as both a practical household accessory and a subtle design statement. Makio Hasuike’s work is celebrated for its seamless integration of form and function, and this piece is a fine example of his ability to elevate utilitarian objects through intelligent design and careful material selection. Presented in very good original condition, the rack retains its original finish with only light wear consistent with age and use, preserving its crisp appearance and functionality. A versatile and increasingly collectible example of Italian modern design by one of the country’s most influential industrial designers. Marked at the base.
