The charming monkey extending its arms and legs to form the hook itself is a design that strongly embodies the humor, animal motifs, and high design quality consistently seen in Bosse's works. While it is a practical item for hanging coats and hats when you return home, the moment it is installed on the wall, it transforms into an object that tells a story within the space. The material is brass. When held, it has a substantial weight, and the texture developed through use is also part of this item's charm. On the back, the engraving \"GES.GESCH.\" can be seen. This stands for the German phrase Gesetzlich Geschützt (registered design\/legally protected), a notation commonly found on German-speaking design products from the mid-20th century. Walter Bosse's works are characterized by \"designs that are practical yet bring an involuntary smile,\" and this item truly embodies that spirit.

What's important is that they are not realistic, but rather somewhat human-like and a little quirky. This was not merely about cuteness, but a clear philosophy of \"imbuing everyday objects with emotion.\" Bosse primarily used brass and bronze. The reasons are clear: they are durable and resistant to breakage, they develop a beautiful patina over time, and they have a \"weight\" when held. His works are designed with the premise that they are completed through use. They are designs where the texture created by time is valued more than the brilliance of newness. The \"GES.GESCH.\" seen in many of Bosse's works is a German notation meaning Gesetzlich Geschützt (registered design\/legally protected). This also implies that his designs were so original that they were easily imitated.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: right;\"\u003e\u003cem\u003e*Based on AI research.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"イエローガレージ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42846639620180,"sku":"R080189","price":95000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0652\/3856\/4948\/files\/0_8435c9e5-dfc7-4059-9446-522f27047e44.jpg?v=1769047039","url":"https:\/\/adhocstore.com\/en\/products\/walter-bosse-monkey-wall-hook-brass-vintage","provider":"ADHOCストアー","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
