Form serves a purpose, always&nbsp;

Friso Kramer (1922–2019) was one of the most influential Dutch designers of the twentieth century. His work left a lasting impact on the international design world, with functionality, timelessness, and simplicity at its core. Kramer’s designs are practical, innovative, and enduring. They remain relevant across generations, long after their first introduction.&nbsp;

Born in Amsterdam as the son of architect Piet Kramer, Friso began experimenting with materials and techniques at an early age. He studied interior architecture at the Institute for Applied Arts in Amsterdam, where, under the guidance of Mart Stam, he developed his passion for industrial design.&nbsp;

In 1948, Kramer joined steel furniture manufacturer De Cirkel (Ahrend), where he later became Art Director. Among his most successful designs for the company was the Revolt chair (1953). Crafted from conventional sheet metal, it became an icon of Dutch postwar design.&nbsp;

The DZ05 coat rack, designed by Friso Kramer in 1954, is more than just a practical accessory  it is a decorative element within the interior. Its sleek, minimalist design in powder-coated steel combines a light, refined appearance with a subtle touch of playfulness.nbsp

Equipped with a hat shelf and seven hooks, the DZ05 provides ample space for coats and accessories. At the same time, it adds a bold graphic accent to the wall without ever becoming intrusive.nbsp
