The Cessato Allarme clothes–stand, created in 1986 by the De Pas, D’Urbino, Lomazzi studio, put into production by Poltronova in 1991, reveals its source of inspiration in its name [“Alarm Over!”]: the alarm–trumpets placed on light poles during the last war. Made of metal, available in bright colors, there is nothing warlike about it, indeed it has a cheerful pop touch, emphasised by the unusual name which, as Paolo Lomazzi suggests in 2020, is a metaphorical call to «go and blow the trumpets again.»
