Meet Magino: the cult-favourite clear acrylic piece that does three jobs beautifully. Use it as a bedside table, a compact side table, or a sturdy stool—while the built-in rack keeps magazines, books (or even records) neatly stored and off the floor.
Its transparency is the styling superpower: Magino gives you function without visual clutter, making rooms feel lighter, calmer, and more spacious. Designed by Karim Rashid and award-winning for good reason, it’s one of those “where has this been all my life?" pieces that finishes a space in a clean, architectural way. Why You’ll Love It

Kids’ zone: a tidy “book nook" perch—books in the rack, small lamp on top (grown-up storage that still feels light). FAQs

Will acrylic scratch easily?
Like most acrylic, it can scratch if cleaned with abrasive products. Use a soft cloth and gentle cleaner to keep it looking crystal clear.

Yes, it’s designed to function as a stool, but for specific load/weight guidance we recommend checking the manufacturer’s care/use notes (or ask us and we’ll help source it).
