Roberto Paoli designed the Pippi Coat Hanger for Midj as something rare — a freestanding coat hanger that commands attention as interior sculpture. Handcrafted in Italy by a studio founded in 1987, this designer coat hanger reflects Midj's long collaboration with external creatives who dissolve the boundary between functional object and art.

Two curved metal tubes arc upward in a fluid, organic gesture, their entire surface wrapped in a single layer of lightly padded bielastic fabric. The wrapping is seamless — no visible joints, no interruptions — giving the Pippi the quality of a soft monolith. The padded textile surface offers a gentle contact point for garments, eliminating the risk of snagging or creasing that bare metal introduces. There is something almost tactile in its invitation: a coat hanger you want to touch before you even use it.

Standing 163 cm tall on a 46 cm base, the Pippi holds multiple garments without overwhelming the room it inhabits. Its proportions suit entrance halls, bedrooms, boutique hotel suites, and office reception areas — anywhere a vertical accent can serve double duty as storage and statement. The bielastic fabric covering is available across a wide palette of colours and textures, allowing precise coordination with existing textile schemes and interior palettes.

Frequently asked questions

Can the fabric covering be specified to match an existing interior scheme?
Yes. The bielastic fabric is offered in a range of colours and textures. For guidance on available options or to coordinate with a specific palette, contact us directly.

Is the structure stable enough for heavier coats?
The internal metal frame carries all weight, while the 46 cm base provides a firm footprint. The fabric serves a protective and aesthetic role and does not affect structural performance.
