Product description
Add an absolute cult icon to your interior with this rare 'Sputnik' (or Atomic) magazine rack from the 70s/80s. This specific model is one of the most sought-after and recognizable design classics from the Space Age era worldwide.
The minimalist frame of wavy chrome and the playful black spheres are directly inspired by the revolutionary 'Hang-It-All' (1953) by design pioneers Charles & Ray Eames. While the early 50s and 60s revolved around sleek functionality, this design in the 70s and 80s brought humor, optimism, and the futuristic aesthetic of space travel into the living room.
This contrast between the industrial chrome and the pop-art spheres makes the rack a timeless work of art. Today, this model is a beloved collector's item that regularly features in leading design magazines. It is not only a functional storage unit for magazines or vinyl records, but also a powerful sculptural statement in a modern, eclectic, or Mid-Century interior.
In beautiful vintage condition with minimal, characteristic signs of use commensurate with its age (see photos).
