Rexite - Tepee coat stand white

Tepee is an elegant and minimalist coat stand inspired by traditional American native tents. The warm tone of the solid beech wood matches perfectly with the colours of the central aluminium connecting sphere, an element that is as functional as it is aesthetic, available in different colours or in the sophisticated chromium plated version.

Raul Barbieri

Born in 1946 in Milan, he graduated in Architecture from the Polytechnic in 1972. During his university studies he collaborated with the industrial design department of Olivetti directed by Ettore Sottsass and there he met Giorgio Marianelli, with whom in 1974 he founded the Barbieri studio in Milan and Marianelli Architects. In 1989 he opened his own individual architecture studio in Milan, where he still lives and works. His collaboration with Rexite began in 1978 and became increasingly important and prolific, leading him to assume the role of artistic director of the company. Coordinator of the ADI Designers Department for a long time, he collaborates with numerous Italian and foreign companies and many of his projects receive prizes in the most important international design competitions.
