This modern-day clothes valet has just enough style to quietly complement almost any interior, from inside the bedroom to the bathroom or the closet. The top bars for resting clothes are finished with luxurious, wound natural cowhide cording to prevent slipping. After finishing her industrial design education at the Academy of Art Stuttgart, German-born Annette Lang moved to Italy and took up shop with Ettore Sottsass Associati. It was during this time that she designed this piece, a seamless blend of German sensibility and Italian style.
