The bold, red object can collect a number of reading materials and even keep a comforting beverage within your easy reach.
Trevor Vaugh's design comprises a clever wire frame with four legs and an elongated spine that together assume a spindly silhouette that resembles a dog. A tiny tail has been incorporated for this purely aesthetic purpose and a neck and head make the body complete and recognizable as a canine. The Madra Magazine Rack's noggin is a flat piece of steel that's broad enough to accommodate a single teacup or mug.
