KIILA Collection

Coat stand and Coat rack

KIILA Collection Coat stand and Coat rack Daniel Rybakken

Kiila is a family of useful and versatile small furniture objects designed with hallways and entrances in mind. In homage to Alvar Aalto’s vision, the Norwegian designer Daniel Rybakken has created not a series of individual pieces, but a system of construction: hefty wooden legs connected by wedge-shaped metal joints, left purposefully visible.

‍ The name itself draws attention to the design: Kiila is Finnish for “wedge.” Secured with high-grade polyamide pins that double as hooks, the sturdy Kiila Coat Stand and Coat Rack can carry serious weight, while the multipurpose Kiila Bench provides a simple and elegant way to organise space. Beautiful supporting elements for any interior, the Kiila pieces are built to last.

Material solid ashwood, powder coated bent sheet steel, connector-hooks in dyed through polyamide, anti-slip glides

Coat stands

Composed of three ash wood legs and the signature Kiila wedge, the Kiila Coat Stand is simple and sturdy. Inspired by the camera tripod on which designer Daniel Rybakken used to hang his coats, it has a low centre of gravity and can accommodate serious weight without tipping over. The wedge-shaped metal joint has been left purposely visible, a smooth powder-coated contrast to the solid ash legs. Robust yet elegant, the Coat Stand provides practical storage for jackets, bags, and other items, even in the smallest room.

Dimensions L54 x l48 x H192 cm

Coat Racks

The Kiila Coat Rack, like all pieces in the collection, displays its construction proudly, its wedge joints and pins left purposefully visible. The design is straightforward and clean: twin supports of solid ash connected by a horizontal rack made of bent sheet steel. The connective pins double as hooks for hanging bags and other items, providing even more storage and practical versatility. Strong enough to support even heavy winter coats, the Kiila Coat Rack provides an elegance meant to last.

Daniel Rybakken

Daniel Rybakken

The son of two designers, Rybakken wanted to become an inventor as a child, and inventiveness is still a value he prizes.

Renowned for his innovative work with light, Rybakken’s collaboration with Artek sees him entering the field of classic industrial design, creating furniture and working with wood, all firsts for the designer.

Rybakken works slowly in his studio situated inside a 19th century former thread factory. He takes on only a few projects a year.

The results, debuted at the Stockholm Design Week in 2017, are striking. Rybakken’s interpretation of minimalism isn’t simply about reduction, something is added, in the case of the Kiila Collection, a sense of playfulness.
