AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Offered, without reserve price, a rare magazine rack/reading rack manufactured in the 1950s.
This concerns an elegant and distinctive decorative magazine rack from the 1950s, produced in lacquered bent wire with perforated metal compartments in a striking yellow color. The airy linework and the use of perforated metal are characteristic of the optimistic post-war Dutch Design and strongly reminiscent of designs by Artimeta, Pilastro, and the style of Mathieu Matégot.
This magazine rack combines functionality with a sculptural appearance and forms a beautiful accent in both mid-century modern and contemporary interiors. The construction is lightweight, stable and graphically designed, making the object attractive from every angle.
Condition: good vintage condition with signs of use appropriate to age and use.
The dimensions are approximately;
36 cm high
42 cm wide
21.5 cm deep
A rare and characterful collectible for enthusiasts of Dutch design from the post-war reconstruction period.
This lot will be well packaged for worldwide shipping with PostNL via the Catawiki shipping service.
