4675 Portariviste | Giotto Stoppino | Kartell, Italy | 1972

Giotto Stoppino
Kartell, Italy, 1972

I’ve had this entry in the pipeline for some time, waiting until I could find as many colors of this magazine rack as I could before posting.  This post is specific to the 4675 Portariviste, my post of December 21, 2009 focused on the 4676.  The similarities between the two are obvious.
