Selency Tells the Story of Giotto Stoppino's Magazine Rack

Contrary to appearances, this magazine rack is not a darling of the Art Deco era. Did you know that? Bravo. Its "architecture," reminiscent of 1930s skyscrapers, could easily lead you astray. In reality, this magazine rack was created in 1972. It was designed by the Italian designer Giotto Stoppino for Kartell and is a true product of the seventies. Its innovative manufacturing process (single-piece molded plastic), practical design (4 compartments, 1 central handle), and rounded curves are emblematic of the era. ❤️ What we love: Its rare sophistication — it could almost dress up an entire living room on its own. 💡 Our advice: Add it to your gift list as a top priority. This marvel wins everyone over. 💭 Did you know? Kartell reissued this magazine rack in several colors, but the original versions in black or off-white remain the most sought-after by collectors. Here's a tip to identify them: the discreet "Kartell" mark under the base.
