By Wirth Gives Us Designs That Love to Grow Old

Denmark seems to be hatching dozens of design talents, and Signe Wirth Engelund, the designer behind the brand By Wirth, is one to keep an eye on. Her favourite materials are oak and leather, and when developing a new product, she aims at challenging both her own abilities and the end user in inventing new ways of using her design.

“Design has to be pragmatic – in several ways. In my design, unnecessary details are always ruled out. Every little detail has to be drawn and prototyped over and over again in order to obtain the right simplicity and elegant functionality,” Signe Wirth Engelund says.

The Spring collection from By Wirth offers everyday beauties in leather and oak – natural materials chosen, because they are ideal to mix with an endless range of colors and other materials. By this, you can always be sure, that your By Wirth design matches the rest of your interior.

A Functional Art Piece

The new rack is added to the long range of classic accessories, that By Wirth has turned into useful pieces of art. Use the hooks for your coats and jackets – or top them with By Wirth’s Coat Hanger (as seen in the picture), which matches the rack. ‘Rack’ is the name, and it is available in two sizes to make it fit all types of homes, in the kitchen, the bathroom, hallway etc. The strap and the bar is fixed to avoid the bar from moving under the weight of heavy coats.

Mount the hanger on the wall, place the leather strap in the small grip and fix it from underneath with a screw.
