Coat rack "Twist", 1997.
In natural varnished beech.
Measurements: 167 x 60 cm.

Singular handmade coat rack, made entirely of curved beech wood beams. It is a highly original design by the Italians Chiristof Burtscher and Patrizia Bertolini.

Chiristof Burtscher (1964-2001) was born in Austria and trained as a master carpenter and sculptor in Austria. Partizia Bertolini, Italian, born in 1962, studied art and graduated in Industrial Design at the Isia in Rome. They were classmates at the European Institute of Design in Milan where they begin to develop the first projects together and to mix their different design characteristics. They have been collaborating since 1991, first in Vienna and then in Bolzano, where in 1995 they opened a design studio. Engaged mainly in the furniture sector, they alternated their research between the "desktop studio" and the direct verification of prototypes in the laboratory.
