Bakelite coat rack

Tamawa is a radical style exercise that uses bakelite spheres as a mono material. Bakelite is clearly a pure and profound industrial material whose plastic qualities are not confined to billiard tables.

The designer has used a bakelite sphere as a structural tie to pull together three rods of ash. The coat rack, called Lock, is one of the items in Tamawa’s home edition. Besides this, most of the collections they make are jewellery.

The word ‘Tamawa’ is Japanese for ‘bead on steel ring’
