Parenzo。Allessi,Magis。
Stendipanni/ clothes-horses, Tende/curtains

a group of social housing blocks has been chosen for rehabilitation and renovation scheme that includes enclosing balconies to create bioclimatic conservatories. This mean that the inhabitants will have to hang their washing to dry inside the apartment themselves, using clothes-horses that take up as little room as possible and at a very low cost.
Alessi, one of Italian design's longest-established and most prestigious firms, will manufacture the clothes-horses that architect Piero Lissoni has designed for the inhabitants of Via Parenzo.
there are 2 versions: a clothes-horse that fits on the wall with a pull-out hanging frame of coloured wires, and another designed to clip onto window-frames in the newly created conservatories.
