Michael Thonet Coar rack Wiena 1905.

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.
