Vintage Rosewood Magazine Holder by Rolf Hesland for Bruksbo, Norway, 1960s

A beautifully sculptural example of Norwegian mid-century design, this ‘Scala’ magazine holder was designed by Rolf Hesland for Bruksbo in the 1960s. Crafted in richly grained rosewood, the design balances function with elegance, featuring gently curved uprights and a slatted construction that allows magazines or records to be stored neatly while remaining on display. The flowing lines and thoughtful proportions are classic Hesland—restrained, practical, yet undeniably refined. It’s a small piece, but one with real presence, perfectly suited to a reading corner, beside a lounge chair, or next to a sofa.

Dimensions:

Width: 59 cm.
Depth: 35 cm.
Height: 43 cm.

✨ Restoration Details

The rosewood frame has been carefully refinished, enhancing the depth and warmth of the natural grain while preserving the integrity of the original design. All joints have been checked and secured, ensuring the piece is solid and ready for everyday use.

📌 Condition

Excellent vintage condition. Light, age-appropriate wear only, consistent with its history and adding to its character. Structurally sound and beautifully presented.

🧡 Why It Stands Out

Designed by one of Norway’s most respected mid-century designers, the Scala magazine holder is a perfect example of how Scandinavian design elevates even the most functional household objects. Compact, sculptural, and crafted in rosewood, it’s a timeless accent piece that works effortlessly in both modern and vintage interiors.
