When you see that one, it is ALWAYS Ikea.
As far as I know, Borsani's only atomic/sputnik coat rack was the floorstanding AT16 for Tecno.
But if you can produce a photo (from a reliable source) of a Borsani coat rack that looks like the wallmount Ikea Mina, I would love to see it.

fastfwd is right.Borsani...
fastfwd is right.
Borsani did not design any wall mounted coat racks.
The ones you find online attributed to him are always IKEA.

Thank you
I agree with you. And every hook I found, was in a condition that looked more like 1995 than the 70s.
Here a link to an ebay ad with two links to 1stdibs in the description http://www.ebay.fr/itm/Paire-de-Porte-manteaux-mural-designer-Osvaldo-Bo...

Hi! I've been trying for a few years making Swedish sellers understand that the hanger is fron the 90's and I blogged about the IKEA Mina hanger in 2012. The past months a Swedish auction firm has sold them as Borsani "Sputnik" by Tecno, though there is no evidence of any kind that he ever designed anything similar. A couple of days ago I decided to contact Tecno, the reply from them is in my blog. Please share it, let's put an end to the spreading of false attributions! Thanks for a great forum 🙂 http://wanjasvarjehanda.bloggplatsen.se/2014/09/23/10869963-osvaldo-bors...
