Spiros

Morphos, a division of Acerbis International, has been active in doing research in the field of furnishing accessories since 1983 with the aim of proposing a new type of furniture or rediscover the value of pieces fallen in disuse. It was in this context that Vico Magistretti designed the Spiros coat rack n 1987, conceived through the intent to reduce it to its essential components starting from the classical broomstick that, in this case, is put to a new use. The central wooden pole to which the pegs - always in wood and always in a spiral - are attached, assumes the shape of a tree that was originally to be placed against a wall and later made with a self-supporting grey metal base. Originally in natural or matte black lacquered oak, it is still in production after its re-edition by Acerbis in 2017, in black, red, and bleached natural. Spiros is also displayed in the permanent collection of the Southwest Museum of Science and Technology in Dallas.
