ABOUT PRODUCTID 10854
The TMP magazine rack, designed by Willy Glaeser for Thomas Merlo & Partner in 1989, is a testament to Swiss late-modernist precision. The entire construction, crafted from cool, chrome-plated metal rods, creates a repetitive rhythm of rectangular frames. The grid-like base and openwork structure lend the piece visual lightness while ensuring stability. Balanced proportions—36 cm wide, 38 cm high, and 27 cm deep—provide ample space for magazines and newspapers, maintaining architectural order. The meticulously polished surface retains subtle discolorations and traces of patina typical of age, while all elements remain original and undamaged. The rack is signed and preserved in very good condition, with only minimal signs of time. This object's form speaks with the language of the late 1980s: the austerity of metal and geometric restraint echo the modernist belief that less is more. The chrome rods reflect light like architectural scaffolding—the magazine rack is silent, yet it tells of order, clarity, and Swiss precision. The delicate patina is less a mark of wear than a sign of authentic daily use—here, one senses the spirit of an era that valued transparency of form and function. The magazine rack can be paired with a low coffee table in light wood or glass to highlight its minimalist lines. It will function well in a living room with furniture featuring strong, geometric shapes—a sofa on slender legs, a floor lamp with a metal shade, or within a subdued color palette. It may be combined with industrial or modernist accessories to enhance its architectural character—a single graphic on the wall or a ceramic vase with a simple form will complete the arrangement. No special maintenance is required—the surface can be wiped with a soft, dry cloth.
