Broomstick Uno
Broomstick Uno is a foldable coat rack made of natural beechwood. It is an object with an elementary design: its structure is based on the combination of wood elements with a constant cross-section, reminiscent, as the name suggests, of broom handles. It is the reissue of the Tenorio coat rack from the Broomstick product family, designed by Vico Magistretti in 1979 and produced by Alias.
Born in 1920 in Milan, he graduated in Architecture from the Polytechnic and immediately began his professional activity in his father’s studio, architect Piergiulio Magistretti.
From 1949 to 1959, he designed and completed around 14 projects for INA-Casa and, together with Mario Tedeschi, participated in the collective venture of the QT8. Since the early 1950s, Magistretti has established himself as one of the brightest figures among the representatives of the ‘third generation.’
In the following years, his work as an architect was increasingly accompanied by that of a designer, creating furniture and objects that would become ‘classics’ of contemporary production.
Among the companies he collaborated with: Artemide, Cassina, De Padova, Flou, Fontana Arte, Fritz Hansen, Kartell, Olivari, Oluce, Poggi, Schiffini Mobili Cucine, Gebrüder Thonet Vienna. Some of his design works are part of the permanent collection at MoMA in New York and have been exhibited in numerous museums in both America and Europe.
His collaboration with Campeggi began in the early ‘90s, leading to a rich production of multifunctional objects: Ostenda, Kenia, Baobab, Scriba, Ospite, Broomstick Uno, Charlotte, Kit, Samarcanda, Africa, Estesa, Distesa, Magellano, Menelikke, Oblò, Fan, Piccy, Moma.
