Mid Century Dutch Beech Folding Magazine Rack by Cees Braakman

A beautifully designed mid century folding magazine rack by renowned Dutch designer Cees Braakman, dating to the 1960s.

 

Crafted in solid beech with a warm, honey-toned finish, this piece showcases Braakman’s signature balance of form and function. The elegant combination of vertical cut-out slats and horizontal rails creates a light, architectural feel while maintaining practical storage.

 

The clever folding design allows the rack to collapse flat when not in use, making it both highly functional and visually striking. A timeless example of Dutch modernist design, perfect for contemporary or vintage-inspired interiors.
