Description :

Add a quintessential touch of Atomic Age style to your interior with this scarce, authentic mid-century modern magazine rack and occasional side table.

Attributed to designer Tony Paul for his "Tempo Group" line by Woodlin-Hall circa 1950s, this piece effortlessly blends functional storage with sculptural, minimalist flair. 

It features a striking, multi-directional black enameled wrought iron wire frame that forms a wide "V" shape perfectly sized to cradle newspapers, magazines, or books. The piece is beautifully balanced by its signature playful wood ball feet and an integrated, elevated solid maple or teak wood table surface. The top wooden panel functions both as an occasional side table surface and as a removable serving tray for drinks or snacks.
