Baton Wardrobe Stand
Supplementing the practical functionality of everyday objects with distinctive form is the eternal challenge in design.
And it is precisely this balancing act that Neri&Hu has pulled off with the wardrobe stands and tables in the BATON series, which comes as a homage to the Viennese Secessionist design movement. Standing proud at 183 centimeters, the taller of the wardrobe stands accommodates long coats and blazers on hangers or loops, provides space for hats and caps, and will never be thrown off balance by heavier loads. Its smaller sibling, measuring 143 centimeters, is perfect for scarves, jackets or children’s clothes, and on top of it all it includes a practical, bowl-shaped tray for keys, sunglasses or other small items.

Wittmann creates treasured pieces: They are the product of an uncompromising approach to craft and design – two elements that have been uniquely cultivated by Wittmann right from the very start. Wittmann is adept at setting trends, creating milestones in the history of furniture.
Unmatched craftsmanship, as well as meticulous selection and working of fine materials, provide the basis for executing new ideas and forms. To bring them to life, Wittmann regularly partners with the greatest names of their time. And it is not uncommon for long-term cooperations to be the outcome: collaborators including Johannes Spalt, Jean Nouvel, Matteo Thun and Paolo Piva set the direction that Jaime Hayon, Sebastian Herkner and Luca Nichetto have now seamlessly picked up on, taking it into a new era.
