Dual Function Coat Stands

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Etc.etc. Designed the Versatile Tilda Coat Stand With an Attached Pouf

— June 8, 2021 — Art & Design
The Tilda coat stand was designed by Etc.etc. for Schonbuch with versatility at its conceptual forefront. The unique piece of furniture doubles as a coat stand and a comfortable seat. Ideal for hallways and bedrooms, this coat stand boasts an attached pouf.

The innovative piece of furniture boasts two slender black metal rods curved around the back of a plush ottoman. One of the rods also includes a small adjustable shelf for convenience. The upholstered pouf is highly functional and offers an elegant alternative to the ordinary coat stand. Providing users with a spot where they can sit to take off their shoes and hang their coats simultaneously, the Tilda cushion is available in a range of Kvadrat or Maharam fabrics or leather.
