FOUR LEAVES
FOUR LEAVES - COAT STAND
Designed By Edward Barber & Jay Osgerby
Our products are highly aesthetic, functional and embody a strong idea. Everything else would be easy, ordinary and not the Magis way.
“Four Leaves is an intelligent product that will fit happily into any space, public or private. A coat stand should look fantastic both dressed and undressed, and it was with this in mind that we chose to avoid any functionalism or whimsy. The project developed through hundreds of sketches and models, until we found the answer: a shape that was so simple it felt as though it had evolved rather than been designed. The ‘leaves’ hold coats perfectly, and the arms serve as little rails for hangers. The base, head and optional umbrella ring are die-cast in aluminium, while the pole is in extruded aluminium, giving the entire piece a natural polished finish.”

In 2011 Barber and Osgerby were appointed to design the London 2012 Olympic Torch, while in 2012, the pair followed this with the launch of MAP, a strategy-based industrial design studio that draws on the creative and commercial skills of Barber & Osgerby to provide design intuition, creative direction and research to ambitious clients.
