coat dots
Design Hella Jongerius, 2013
Painted beech wood, aluminum mount
Made by Vitra
The Coat Dots by Hella Jongerius are mounted on an extendable pin that can be pulled slightly away from the wall to provide a handy peg for jackets and clothes hangers. At the same time, they can also simply be utilized as decorative wall elements.
Hella Jongerius's research on colors, materials, and textures is never complete. All her questions are open-ended, and all her answers provisional, taking the form of finished and semi-finished products. These are part of a never-ending process, and the same is essentially true of all Jongeriuslab designs: they possess the power of the final stage, while also communicating that they are part of something greater, with both a past and an uncertain future. The unfinished, the provisional, the possible; they hide in the attention for imperfections, traces of the creation process, and the revealed potential of materials and techniques. Through this working method, Jongerius not only celebrates the value of the process, but also engages the viewer, the user, in her investigation.
The Coat Dots are available in sets of three color-coordinated balls including mounting hardware.
