The SKID line is all about functional elegance. It consists of a purist coat stand in two widths and a range of variants. The metal frame is finished in brushed stainless steel or powder-coated in slate black and topped with a semi-cylindrical wooden strip. In the steel variant, this is made of solid oak or walnut; in the powder-coated one it is crafted from walnut wood. The wider models are available only with a brushed stainless steel frame and can be ordered with a mirror panel or an integrated magnetic display board in white oak or walnut. SKID can also be complemented with two small holders for single umbrellas or a larger umbrella stand, if desired. In addition, a set of four small, matching metal hooks can be purchased. Smart, sleek and stylish – a special eye-catcher in offices, corridors and entrance areas.
