1950s–60s French Mid-Century Modern Magazine Rack in Perforated Metal

French magazine rack, 1950s–60s constructed from black lacquered tubular steel with a folded perforated metal body in yellow.

The angular frame creates a floating effect, reinforcing its sculptural quality.

Functional yet visually precise, this is a restrained example of mid-century French design practical, linear, and quietly expressive.

Wear consistent with age and use.

Why We Love It

• The tension between the strict black frame and the vibrant perforated metal creates a bold graphic silhouette.
• It feels light yet architectural — a functional object that reads almost like a small sculpture.
