Sculptural Reading Storage

Alessi's Blow Up Bamboo Collection Magazine Rack is Sculpturally Shaped

— May 22, 2014 — Art & Design
Alessi's Blow Up Bamboo Collection features a range of artfully conceived products that includes this unique magazine rack. Designed by Fratelli Campana, the reading storage accessory is a perfect addition to modern living rooms and sleek library spaces.

Fratelli Campana's designer duo, Brazilian brothers Fernando and Humberto Campana embraced the visual concept of Alessi's "Blow Up" collection by playing with the balance of positive and negative spaces.

The sculptural end result is a product that appears as if it has exploded into formation. Its steel rods stand at varying angles and resemble a cluster of scattered bamboo chutes. This unique magazine rack combines aesthetics with a user-friendly design. The practical accessory is great for living or work spaces in need of some handy reading storage.
