About the Item

This sculptural magazine rack, crafted in Brazil in the 1960s, is a striking example of the country’s modern design language—where simple geometric forms and luxurious native materials come together with remarkable clarity. The piece is constructed from solid Brazilian Rosewood (Jacarandá), one of the most coveted hardwoods of the period, celebrated for its deep tonal range and expressive, multicolored grain. The slatted structure features alternating horizontal boards that create a rhythmic visual pattern while allowing air and light to pass through, keeping printed materials organized and elegantly displayed. The vertical supports are finished in a contrasting dark tone and secured with exposed brass hardware, adding subtle, refined accents that underscore the handcrafted nature of the piece. The proportions are functional and generous: ideal for storing magazines, folders, documents, and books while maintaining a light, architectural presence. Recently expertly refinished, the wood now reveals its full chromatic depth—from chocolate browns to reddish undertones—enhancing both the beauty of the Jacarandá and the modernist integrity of the design. Versatile and timeless, this magazine rack is a refined addition to any living room, study, or office, embodying the sophistication and material richness that define Brazilian modernism.
