Bas Van Pelt Black Lacquered Metal Magazine Rack, Netherlands, 1950s
By Bas Van Pelt, My Home Furniture 1
Located in Utrecht, NL
Bas van Pelt may be the most well-known for his seating designs, but this rare magazine rack shows the designer’s less known side. The design of this model feels contemporary and shows off the creativity of van Pelt.
This type of storage is often referred to as a display rack, which is especially apt for this model. The black lacquered wired metal body is arranged in an airy design that allows the display of magazines and books. The curving shape of the five arches create a modern, artistic look crowned - quite literally - by the single pole in the middle with a ring at the end. This feature gives the design that extra element that distinguishes it from other models, while also serving a functional role. The entire rack can be picked up easily thanks to the ring, further, it still manages to stand out and grab the eye despite its small size. The wooden bottom adds an organic touch that is a beloved feature of mid-century modern design and of Dutch designer, Bas van Pelt as well. It pairs very well with the black metal frame and both materials get visually enhanced as a consequence. The rack stands on four brass leg ends showing how attention was given to the smallest detail.
Whether used to hold magazines, newspapers or any other periodicals, this magazine display is sure to stand out. While serving a primarily functional role, this model is sure to stand out for its aesthetic qualities as well, reminding why mid-century modernism was one of the most creative design eras of all time.

Mid-Century Cesare Lacca Black Lacquered Beech Wood Italian Magazine Rack, 1950s
By Cesare Lacca
Located in Roma, IT
Wonderful magazine rack in black lacquered beech wood with removable mid-century shelves. Cesare Lacca designed this amazing piece and was produced in Milan, Italy during the 1950s.
This item is fantastic because it is both stylish and functional, as the black lacquered wood structure blends wonderfully with the brown shelves creating a striking mid-century balance and can be folded in order to easily carry it.
This piece is perfect for a mid-century library or living room and will complete any project with its striking lines.
Born in Naples in 1929, Italian architect-designer Cesare Lacca created modernist furniture and metalwork throughout the 1950s. Though details of his personal life and professional training remain lost to history, there are sufficient surviving primary sources that document his many elegant designs in brasswork for which he is the best know and which fetch high prices from collectors.
Like many Italian designers in the 20th century, Lacca moved to Milan after World War II to launch his career. Before he was even 21 years old, his work was selected by a group of American curators for inclusion in the landmark exhibition Italy at Work: Her Renaissance in Design Today that toured 12 US museums between 1950 and 1953—the first major exhibition of Italian design outside of Italy. The exhibition showcased the best and brightest of Italian designers who had embraced modernist principles and rejuvenated traditional Italian crafts, like Carlo Mollino, Franco Albini, and Gio Ponti
In the exhibition catalogue, curator Meyric R. Roger’s spotlights Lacca's expert achievements in brass, noting “the variety and quality of his creations,” which “place him high among the architect-designers leading the current [Modernist] movement." Rogers adds, "The quality of his work...provide[s] all the decorative effectiveness needed without strain or exaggeration”.
Lacca designed a great many tea carts and serving trolleys in his career—which make up a large proportion of what is available on the vintage market today—as well as magazine racks and coffee tables. Lacca’s most iconic tea cart was manufactured by Italian brand Cassina and features sculpted beech, cedar, teak, or walnut with brass details, a glass tabletop, and a removable glass tray.
Lacca also designed high-backed lounge chairs, which were regularly featured in Arredoluce advertisements for Angelo Lelli’s lighting...
