ABOUT PRODUCTID 2666
Designed by Walter Zeischegg for Helit in 1973, this magazine rack exemplifies German space age design from the 1970s. Crafted from plastic in a saturated, warm shade of red, it features a structure of vertical, rounded rods arranged symmetrically in a circular formation. The base is linked by bulbous, organic elements, creating a sense of geometric discipline and fluidity. The surface is smooth and semi-matte, free from visible texture or traces of use, and the piece appears to be molded in a single cast. The designer’s signature highlights its authenticity, and the object is preserved in excellent condition. The organic, rhythmic arrangement of rods lends the rack the character of functional sculpture—capturing a moment of movement within a static form. The red hue introduces energy to the interior, while the soft, rounded shapes evoke a sense of freedom and flow associated with the era’s fascination for new materials and bold color combinations. Its practical function merges with a decorative role, communicating an openness to experimentation and innovative visual solutions. It can be paired with minimalist furniture in light wood or lacquered finishes to accentuate the contrast between the vivid color and clean forms. This piece performs well as a striking accent in a home office, living room, or reading nook, especially against neutral walls or graphite accessories. Consider combining it with soft lighting and monochrome textiles to highlight its original form and emphasize the vintage character of the 1970s.
