I have another magazine basket for sale.
Note: We do not ship to the US or Canada.
This magazine basket is not just a practical object; it's a beautiful example of the innovative and stylish design for which the Dutch brand Artimeta became known in the 1950s and 1960s. Founded in Soest and later based in Limburg, Artimeta collaborated with renowned designers during that period, such as Floris H. Fiedeldij, who was inspired by modern French designers like Mathieu Matégot.
Matégot's influence is often reflected in the use of perforated metal, airy shapes, and functional elegance—characteristics that can also be found in this magazine basket. Whether it's delicate wire construction, playful lines, or well-considered proportions, the Artimeta style reflects a time when design and practicality went hand in hand.
Today, such a magazine basket not only represents a piece of vintage charm, but also a tangible reminder of a period when Dutch design gained international recognition. Perfect for lovers of mid-century modern, or for those seeking authentic details with a story.
Buying vintage is more than just a purchase; it's buying a relatively unique product. These are products that were manufactured with quality in the past and have therefore stood the test of time; they have a story. Vintage design items are a delight for your interior today. Purchasing a vintage product also contributes to sustainability; it gets a new life, eliminating the need to manufacture another item. We always ship lamps without a light source. The lamps offered are always in working order, but they must be inspected by a certified company for reliability and safety. If anything is unclear, or if you have any additional questions, please ask, and we will answer them as best we can.
