This magazine rack from the 1980s is fully crafted from polished brass, displaying a sculptural, postmodern silhouette. The construction features two sharply angled side panels that taper towards the base, creating a distinctive V-shape, with their upper edges extending horizontally in clean, precise folds. Decorative brass ball finials secure key junctions, enhancing both the rack’s structural strength and its postmodern aesthetic. Four polished brass ball feet support the piece, imparting a subtle lightness to its form, while squared horizontal supports ensure stability. The highly reflective golden brass surface, with natural patina and minimal oxidation in selected areas, imbues the object with an authentic vintage character. There are no handles; magazines are placed directly into the slot created by the intersecting angled panels. Dimensions: width 40 cm, depth 31 cm, height 26 cm. The rack is preserved in excellent condition, showing only minimal traces typical for the 1980s; no visible dents or scratches disturb its overall appearance. This object reverberates with echoes of the 1980s—a decade marked by design boldness and a postmodernist irony towards previous modernist rigors. The mirrored brass surface calls to mind Italian interiors of the Memphis era, where function and play with geometry become equally important. Every spherical finial and every crisp fold hints at a love of ornament that enhances, rather than compromises, practical purpose. Such a rack could become a focal point in a living room against a smooth wall, especially where daylight can highlight its reflective gold.
