Description
A sleek and sculptural chrome and smoked glass log holder designed by Danny Alessandro, Italy, circa 1970s. Equal parts functional and architectural, the design features polished chrome framing, clear glass side panels, and an elegant arched handle that transforms a utilitarian fireplace accessory into a striking piece of modernist design.
Originally intended for storing firewood beside the hearth, this versatile piece also works beautifully as a magazine rack, vinyl record holder, or stylish storage for blankets and throws. The smoked glass panels lighten its visual weight while the mirror-polished chrome catches and reflects its surroundings, making it equally at home in a Mid-Century Modern, Hollywood Regency, or contemporary interior.
Its clean lines and refined materials evoke the work of Milo Baughman, Romeo Rega, and Maison Jansen, making it an elegant addition to both living rooms and library spaces.
