Rattan Magazine Rack

Rattan magazine rack. Supple and light, rattan gives this small piece an airy silhouette and a natural texture that warms an interior. Circa 1950.

Widely used in mid-20th-century furniture, rattan reflected a taste for more relaxed interiors, open to nature and leisure. It is as much at home in a living room as in a conservatory or a bedroom, where its natural texture finds its full expression. Practical and decorative, this magazine rack sits beside a sofa, an armchair or a bed, keeping newspapers, magazines and books close at hand while adding a touch of natural material to the decor.
