When I see an unmarked Borsani Sputnik coat rack, what makes me sure it isn't an Ikea replica like this:

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.
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...
