ABOUT PRODUCTID 10611
This magazine rack from the 1970s exemplifies Polish design inspired by the mid-century modern movement. The structure features a lightweight, bent tube metal frame in a cool, silvery tone, supporting closely spaced, light wooden rods that form the open sides and base. The handle is a simple, angular metal rod, and the rack stands on four small, ball-shaped metal feet. Surfaces are finished in matte: the wood is smooth with a warm, natural hue, while the metal has a subtle sheen. With no decorative embellishments, the piece focuses on clean lines and functional, geometric form. The condition is good – only minor traces of age-related corrosion are present on the metal parts, with no major damage.
This compact object carries the spirit of everyday life in the 1970s, when practicality and clarity of form were becoming paramount. The wooden slats and gently curved metal frame evoke memories of interiors arranged economically but with attention to detail. The rack could tell stories of evenings spent with magazines or newspapers, of moments captured in simple daily gestures, when design was meant to be both useful and airy. Its open, lattice construction suggests transparency and order – values that shaped the era.
In an interior, the rack could be paired with a low coffee table from the 1960s or 70s, especially amidst upholstered furniture with clean lines and neutral tones. It would work well in a mid-century modern living room, where natural wood and metal harmonize with geometric forms and a subdued color palette. It might be complemented by textiles in shades of grey or beige and minimalist décor such as a ceramic bowl or a small plant, highlighting its lightness and practical character.
