A 20thC "ATOMIC" COAT STAND BY ROGER FERAUD, FRANCE c.1960
The stand created to carry hats and coats, with the typical solid multicoloured wood balls to the ends. The wood balls still bear the original paintwork and although there are obvious signs of wear and tear consistent with normal domestic use, it does add a fun vintage feel to any hallway or interior. A lovely conversation piece as well as a design classic.

DESCRIPTION
Roger Feraud was an innovative French furniture designer who utilized the latest materials of that time, such as chrome plated metal and steel tubes, which can be found in a number of his works. Feraud worked with the French production company Cromos, which brought to life many of his designs.
When the American chemist Linus Carl Pauling made a model of DNA as a string of spheres and rods in 1951, it inspired Roger Feraud to create what would become some of his most famous creations, the “atomic“ range which included coat hangers and hat stands (sometime incorporating umbrella stands) with black, solid steel frames, decorated with his typical painted solid wood balls.
This is a wonderful example of his work. The stand created to carry hats and coats, with the typical solid multicoloured wood balls to the ends. The wood balls still bear the original paintwork and although there are obvious signs of wear and tear consistent with normal domestic use, it does add a fun vintage feel to any hallway or interior. A lovely conversation piece as well as a design classic.
