Description
Elegant 1950s Pilastro vintage magazine rack in yellow and black metal, designed in the spirit of Mathieu Matégot’s modernist metalwork. The piece features a perforated metal basket and slender geometric lines that capture the light, graphic aesthetic of post-war European design.
Rare 1950s Pilastro vintage magazine rack in yellow and black metal, strongly influenced by the work of French designer Mathieu Matégot. The open wire construction and perforated metal basket reflect the same light, playful approach to form that made Matégot’s designs so distinctive.
This magazine rack beautifully expresses that shared design language — minimal, sculptural, and practical. Perfect for displaying magazines, books, it adds an authentic mid-century touch to any interior.
A fine example of Dutch modern design inspired by the European avant-garde, and a desirable collectible for enthusiasts of Pilastro, Artimeta, and Mathieu Matégot style metalwork.
During the 1950s, Dutch designer Tjerk Reijenga created a series of metal furniture and shelving systems for Artimeta, a company that shared a design philosophy with Matégot’s Paris studio. Both emphasized graphic lines, airy structures, and a modern, optimistic spirit of post-war design. This magazine rack beautifully captures that aesthetic — elegant, functional, and timeless.
A perfect accent for mid-century modern interiors, this piece works well for holding magazines, books, or newspapers. It stands as a striking example of Dutch metalwork that bridges French and Dutch modernism, and remains a collectible for enthusiasts of Pilastro, Artimeta, and Mathieu Matégot.
