Design by Carl Auböck, c. 1956
A sculptural magazine stand designed by Carl Auböck in Austria in the mid-1950s. Carved entirely from wood, the piece reduces a functional household object to a simple, strongly defined form.
Its appeal lies in the balance between utility and sculpture: the carved profile gives the stand a substantial physical presence while preserving the economy and directness associated with Auböck’s work.
Materials: carved wood
Dimensions: 41.91 H × 44.45 W × 31.75 D cm
