Figurative Steel Mannequin Sculpture And Clothes Stand, 1960s France

A rare French coat stand from the 1960s, sourced in the Paris region. Made of patinated bent steel, it takes on a playful, figurative mannequin shape, somewhere between the human outline and an abstract sculpture. Originally used in a clothing store as a display for garments, it still works beautifully today as a coat rack or clothes stand at home. The slender, wire-like frame gives it a sculptural quality while remaining light and easy to place. There is a certain charm in how it balances utility and art, part mannequin, part sculpture, part functional coat stand. With its elegant 1960s modern spirit, this piece captures the creativity of France’s craftsmen at the time, when even everyday objects were designed with imagination and a touch of whimsy.Check out our Daddy Deco storefront for more sculptural, architectural mid-century design items.
