ABOUT PRODUCTID 10399
This magazine rack from the 1970s is crafted from black, matte synthetic material that closely mimics the texture of natural leather. Its geometric body is supported by a slender, chrome-plated frame with a mirrored finish, while the handle, smoothly finished in warm-toned wood, provides both ergonomic comfort and a natural counterpoint to the industrial materials. The upper edge of the magazine holder features a row of evenly spaced rectangular cut-outs, lending the piece a sense of decorative rhythm and lightness. The proportions—55 cm in height, 43 cm in width, and 18 cm in depth—reflect the functional clarity of mid-century modern design. Small black rubber feet stabilize the rack and protect surfaces. The overall condition is good: there is a small, visible tear in the synthetic material and some creasing due to use and age; all elements appear original, with no signs of restoration. This object carries the voice of the 1970s, an era when Polish and European design sought a balance between modernity and everyday practicality. The chrome frame glints like an echo of modernist interiors, while the leather-effect body speaks to the pragmatic spirit of a time when function and aesthetics were closely intertwined. The rhythmic cut-outs along the upper edge evoke a sense of movement and ease, as if the magazine rack were ready to tell stories of afternoon reading and quiet moments by the armchair. Its subtle marks of use do not attempt to hide its age; instead, they highlight the authenticity and understated refinement of everyday objects from decades past. The magazine rack could be paired with a sofa featuring clean lines or a mid-century armchair, where natural wood and metallic accents complement each other. In a living room, it
