Dating back to the 1960s, this opulent magazine rack is a striking decorative accessory in the most classic Italian Riviera style. Reminiscent of the iconic craftsmanship associated with Vivai del Sud, the piece has been expertly handcrafted by bending and joining slender rattan canes to create an elegant fan-shaped silhouette. The result is an airy yet sophisticated design that perfectly embodies the glamour and organic modernism of Italian coastal interiors from the period. The spacious magazine basket is supported by a substantial bamboo frame, beautifully curved and constructed to ensure both stability and durability. The contrast between the thick bamboo structure and the delicate woven cane detailing gives the piece a refined architectural presence while maintaining the relaxed elegance typical of Riviera and Mediterranean design. Presented in original and well-preserved vintage condition, the magazine rack has undergone a thorough professional cleaning and has been treated with a protective wax finish to preserve its rich natural patina and warm honey-toned coloration acquired over time. An exceptional decorative object for collectors and interior designers seeking authentic 1960s Italian rattan furniture and accessories in the style of Vivai del Sud or Gabriella Crespi See less
