The Calvet hanger has an innovative functionality and is
the smallest piece of furniture made by Gaudí. It curves
between wooden elements with twisting, brassplated
steel ribbons holding onto a rounded oak hanger.
The ribbons grasp three elongated openings perfect for
hanging an umbrella or hooked hangers. They stretch
from the wall-fixed support to the rectangular body,
reaching the protruding wooden hanger as it floats
in mid-air. This illusion of lightness contrasts with the
functionality of the hanger.
