ClassiCon Saturn Coat Rack

Design: Barber Osgerby, 2007

ClassiCon Saturn - the coat rack as an art object

Saturn is the outermost planet visible to the naked eye, and was therefore known even before the invention of the telescope. It was named after the Roman god who was responsible for sowing and the golden age. The sickle of this god represents the astronomical symbol. The ClassiCon Saturn coat rack by the Barber Osgerby design studio makes a similar statement. The stand appears as a modern sculpture that offers space for jackets and bags. The graceful-looking object with large arches made of wood is suitable for placing coats and bags directly above it. There are also two additional metal hooks on the arches, where clothes can be hung conventionally with the hanger on the coat rack. Each as he likes: there is hardly a more stylish way. The ClassiCon Saturn, designed by Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, is available in natural American walnut and stained beech in black, both solid. The design of the ClassiCon Saturn dates back to 2007.

The two designers

The two designers Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby were born in England in 1969 and met while studying architecture in London. In 1996 they founded their joint studio, which since 2008 is called Barber Osgerby. There they create interiors, furniture (chairs, shelves, tables, etc.), lighting, products and accessories for renowned manufacturers. Both designers are honorary doctors, who regularly successfully participate in competitions.
