Some pieces earn their place by doing three jobs without ever looking busy. The Magino Acrylic Stool and Magazine Rack in Clear by Umbra is one folded sheet of thick acrylic that works as a stool, a side table and a home for your current reads, all at once.

Because you can see straight through it, Magino adds a surface without adding visual weight, which makes it a favourite in apartments, bedrooms and snug living rooms. Slide a few coffee table books into the rack, set a lamp or a cup on top, and the corner looks finished. It is a considered gift for a design lover or a new homeowner, and sits comfortably alongside the rest of our furniture.
