Sought after by professional decorators for decades, these folding magazine racks add just the right light and airy “look” to a mid century restoration! When placed next to an Eames Plywood Lounge chair or a “Papa Bear” Chair, the effect is magical and creates a time warp to the fabulous fifties!
This magazine rack is in fine vintage condition! The wood is well preserved and lustrous. This designer furnishing trophy has been well preserved in the Southwest Desert in Scottsdale and seen light duty, leaving it a decorator’s dream!
This example still has a “Made in Yugoslavia” tag underneath the spine. During the fifties, production of these popular Danish magazine racks occurred in Romania, Yugoslavia and other parts of Europe and were made in various types of wood.
Imagine it! A fab treasure from a period when labor savings meant handcrafted manufacturing in Southern Europe!
This is probably the most recognized mid century Danish Modern magazine rack ever manufactured and in the coveted Rosewood. Over the past ten years these have become very difficult to obtain in this combination of wood and condition.
A MUST HAVE addition to the favorite reading spot of your NY penthouse, West Palm Beach estate or Palm Springs atomic ranch home!
