ABOUT PRODUCTID 2671
The 'Portaviste' magazine rack, designed by Giotto Stoppino and produced by Kartell in 1975, exemplifies Italian modernism where innovative use of material meets functional clarity. Crafted entirely from molded plastic in a warm, creamy beige with a subtle yellow undertone, its semi-gloss finish gently reflects light and accentuates softly rounded edges. Four deep compartments allow for tidy storage of magazines, books, or catalogues, while the integrated handle ensures easy portability. The minimalist, modular form and absence of visible joints or screws are hallmarks of Kartell’s high-quality plastic production from the 1970s. The piece is signed and remains in very good condition, showing only minor traces of use without significant damage or discoloration.
This object echoes the spirit of the 1970s—a decade when Italian design embraced modern materials, imbuing everyday items with sculptural presence and lightness. 'Portaviste' speaks through discreet geometry, as if offering to organize daily clutter in an almost architectural manner. The gentle sheen of the plastic softly catches the light, while the supple line of its silhouette conjures a sense of domestic comfort characteristic of Kartell’s era.
The magazine rack would suit a mid-century modern living room, where it could be paired with low sofas on chromed legs or a tinted glass coffee table. It may be combined with accessories of simple, geometric forms—such as a minimalist lamp or a ceramic vase—to highlight its architectural outline. The piece also adapts well to an eclectic collector's interior, serving as a discreet, functional accent bridging classic and contemporary elements.
