With its long and slender shapes, Flamingo is a modern and simple clothes-stand.
The inspiring image for the designer Carollo to design the Flamingo clothes-stand, reminds of the sinuous lines of the dresses of nineteenth-century ladies. The simplicity of this clothes-stand and its formal lines, make it a unique piece of furniture suitable to be placed in any environment. Ranging from the entrance to the bedroom, to workplaces and contract projects. The structure – made of solid Canaletta walnut or ash wood and available in all the finishes of the collection, in addition to the matt lacquered version – matches perfectly with many other elements of the Porada collection. The Flamingo modern clothes stand can be used alone, or in series, combining different colours to obtain an elegant game of contrasts.
