The coffee table that lets magazines disappear at a touch of a hand
Everyone is familiar with the chaos you encounter on the coffee table in your living room or at the office. We didn't want to deal with chaos so we changed the table. The solution was the magazine slot. It gives you the proper place to keep your latest literature within reach and in order. With one movement of your hand magazines slide into the slot.
To allow easy storage of even more magazines we designed the double slot model. This model is perfect for those avid readers and will easily swallow up any magazines you throw at it.
The series
Mag Rack Table Series consists of 6 models. Mag-Ander, Mag-Double, Mag-Double-D, Mag-Impulse, Mag-Small and Mag-One. After a year of working on prototypes we decided to launch two models "MAG-Impulse" and "MAG-Ander". The Mag Rack Tables are made of high quality materials selected for durability. Prototypes were developed in cooperation with the institute for woodwork at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.

Handcrafted in Croatia - designed in Austria
After producing prototypes in local workshops we searched for the optimal manufacturer in countries of middle Europe that could meet our criteria. We also ensured the manufacturer is located close enough to enable an optimal and personal cooperation and quality control. Our choice was a well known and reputable croatian manufacturer “Gala Drvo” . Croatia is a new European Union member and has very good craftsmen that are already producing goods for international projects. This producer convinced us with his competence and engagement at work on further prototypes. “Gala Drvo” was already known for precision of manufacturing, high quality of finished products and business reliability making them an obvious choice.
