About the Item
“Bilumen” Magazine Rack by Rodolfo Bonetto, 1960s Italy — Icon of Italian Plastic Design
Designed in the 1960s by Rodolfo Bonetto, the “Bilumen” magazine rack is one of the most recognizable objects of Italian industrial design. Produced in molded ABS plastic, it reflects Bonetto’s pioneering exploration of new materials and his ability to create everyday objects with sculptural clarity and functional intelligence.
This example, in a striking high-gloss red, features the characteristic double-compartment form with rounded edges and a curved central handle that makes it easy to move from room to room. Its streamlined silhouette and vibrant color embody the optimism of 1960s Italy, aligning with the era’s bold embrace of plastics and modern domestic design.
Both decorative and practical, the Bilumen works beautifully in living rooms, offices, studios, or reading corners, serving as a magazine holder, vinyl organizer, or stylish storage piece. It has become a sought-after collectible for lovers of mid-century Italian design, Pop aesthetics, and plastic furniture.
