Recently previewed at the Salone del Mobile 2013 in Milan is Mate by Living Divani. Made of square tubular steel with an Epoxy Powder coating in black or white, it stands at a height of 1.95 m. and is formally classified as a Clothes Valet. In reality, this simple piece of furniture could become many things to many people, efficiently functioning as a coat rack, hat stand, telephone table or even a seat of stool.

The minimal lines of this object would not be out of place in a bedroom or bathroom where the ladder like rungs could hold a number of accessories or even a towel or two. The subtle design aesthetic of Mate allows it to adapt to most interiors, in particular where space is at a premium, all in all a fine example of stylish flexibility.
