Unique Design and Craftsmanship

The rack features a zigzag snaking of iron wire, arching between the vertical and horizontal parts, not only providing stability and balance against the wall but also creating a visually striking contrast. This innovative design increases the surface area, making it even more effective for hanging items. The original silvery-white painted decoration, more pronounced on the left side, beautifully contrasts with the red orange of rust and other elements, showcasing the natural aging process of the metal. The construction of the entire piece is a delightful blend of functionality and elegance.
