A modular design that can be designed flexibly. The design consists of three V-shaped angled metal elements and two wooden sticks with screwed-on wooden balls at the ends. All elements are painted black. The metal fans are threaded onto the rods and fixed at the end with the balls. The alignment of the angles is flexible. The arrangement determines the appearance and function of the stand. There are handle holes integrated into the elements. A functional detail to be able to carry the stand around with the tip pointing upwards.
The magazine rack is in very good condition with signs of wear and patina.
