DESIGN CONTEXT

This set of four Carlo Bartoli wall hooks, manufactured in Italy by Con & Con, reflects the clarity and sculptural simplicity of Italian modernist design from the late 1960s and 1970s. Each element combines a prominent rounded upper form with a smaller integrated coat hook, transforming an everyday functional object into a distinctive architectural detail.

The glossy grey plastic gives the design a particularly understated character. Unlike the brighter colors often associated with vintage plastic furniture and accessories, this neutral finish emphasizes the precision of Bartoli’s geometric composition, the softly rounded surfaces and the relationship between the two functional elements.

Carlo Bartoli’s approach to industrial design was characterized by an interest in essential forms, practical solutions and the expressive possibilities of modern manufacturing materials. These wall hooks demonstrate how a simple domestic accessory can acquire a strong visual identity without sacrificing functionality.

Arranged together, the four hooks create a rhythmic wall composition. Their modular nature allows them to be installed in a continuous horizontal sequence or positioned individually, adapting to different spaces and requirements. They are particularly suitable for entrance halls, bedrooms, dressing areas and interiors where functional accessories are intended to contribute to the overall design.

Each piece retains its original moulded manufacturer’s markings, identifying Con & Con, article 302/303, Carlo Bartoli as the designer and Italy as the country of manufacture. The set is preserved in excellent vintage condition.
