Vries, Coen de
History of Coen de Vries’ coat racks: This type of coat rack was originally Model GW1, designed by Coen de Vries in 1953, using a round tube to the size of an interior door for a model home at Goed Wonen in Weesp. Initially, the coat rack was equipped with four hat hooks and fourteen clothes hooks made of bent, plastic-coated electrical wire, later with punched metal hooks. The coat rack was sold in “de Sleutel,” De Vries’s own store, and in Goed Wonen stores.
In 1954, the Hague-based company Devo began producing the coat rack in various sizes and colors, with round and square frames, a hat rack, and an umbrella stand.
Pilastro: Tjerk (Ted) Reyenga released the coat rack in 1955 in a modified/adapted version called the “Servo Muto,” with a square frame and in various sizes. Later, Artimeta and Tomado also began producing this type of coat rack.

BeBoB was founded with a focus on recycling and started as a foundation, not profit-based.
For almost 40 years, it has specialised in collecting and selling midcentury design, focussing on the right matches more than how to get the best profit.
BeBoB charges reasonable prices for vintage and collector’s items.
Vintage Prices are approximately 35% to 65% of the new-to-order price, if items are still new in production. If not anymore in production they become collectibles.
Collectibles are also the original pieces from the design period of the items, which are still in production and are more expensive, but often a good investment out of scarcity.
