About this seller
Private sellerProduct description
This mid-century folding magazine rack is a work by Italian designer Cesare Lacca, dating back to the 1950s. The piece stands out for its elegant silhouette and expert use of natural materials, representing a classic example of Italian design of the era.
The frame is crafted from finely crafted dark wood, enhanced by side panels of fine woven rattan. Functional and aesthetic details include brass hinges, handle supports, and foot caps, creating a refined color contrast with the warm tones of the wood and rattan. The folding mechanism demonstrates the practical ingenuity typical of Cesare Lacca's work.
The magazine rack is in excellent overall condition, retaining its structural integrity and original charm. The wood finish and rattan texture maintain their authentic character, with a natural patina that attests to its age and historical provenance.
This piece of furniture fits perfectly in Midcentury Modern living rooms or sophisticated professional offices. Its presence adds a touch of organic warmth and geometric rigor next to reading chairs or leather sofas.
The Vienna straw is original and 100% intact, with no broken threads or holes; it exhibits only its natural, charming, and slight undulation due to age, a testament to its authenticity. The structural brass retains its splendid original patina with very light surface oxidation; it was intentionally left unpolished to preserve the piece's vintage character. The X-folding mechanism is perfectly smooth and functional.
