Bas Van Pelt Black Lacquered Metal Magazine Rack, Netherlands, 1950s
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.
Condition:
In good vintage condition. Wear consistent with age and use. Some small marks on the wood.
Dimensions:
17.71 in W x 13.38 in D x 24.8 in H

About the designer:
Bas Van Pelt (1900 Dordrecht (NL) - 1945 Sandbostel (DE)) was a well-known Dutch interior and furniture designer, known for the clarity and quality of his designs. His works created in the 1930s and 1940s are regarded for their progressive design and quality.

Antique and Vintage Magazine Racks and Stands
Antique and vintage magazine racks and stands provide an easy organization option for storing your favorite periodicals without tucking them away out of sight.
The first magazine in America was published in the 1700s. Newspapers, however, are much older. As the popularity of magazines and newspapers grew, so did the need to store and organize them.
In your living room, a well-designed vintage magazine rack will help display your magazines in an orderly fashion while maintaining the stylistic integrity of your space. This accessory will keep clutter to a minimum, and, best of all, it encourages visitors to read at their leisure. Adding a rack or stand to your home office or reading nook is going to help you keep your desk and coffee table tidy. And given that so many have been made over the years, the right magazine rack to work cohesively in your space no matter your furniture style shouldn’t be hard to find.
Wood magazine racks, no matter the era of origin, are going to bring warmth to your entertainment room and will sit snugly alongside your organic modern furnishings. Mid-century modern magazine racks are also versatile in that regard, with furniture designers at the time working in teak (a preferred material for makers of the period), bamboo and rattan and exploring different forms and provocative embellishments. Alternatively, a streamlined metal magazine rack might be a better fit, texture-wise, if you’re looking for clean lines and an overall polished style to complement a minimalist approach.
Browse the selection of antique and vintage magazine racks and stands on 1stDibs to find the perfect accent piece for any space.
