Willi Glaeser – Paper Collector – TMP – Iconic Swiss design classic (1989) An internationally recognized design classic in which functionality, simplicity and geometric perfection come together! This remarkable Paper Collector was designed in 1989 by the Swiss designer Willi Glaeser for Thomas Merlo & Partner (TMP). What at first glance appears to be a minimalist reading stand proves to be a thoughtful example of industrial design. The construction consists of bent, chromed steel wire that together forms a striking open, cubic line pattern. The design is as simple as it is ingenious: magazines, newspapers and old paper can be neatly stacked, while the open construction makes it possible to easily bind the collected pile with string for recycling. An Award-Winning Design Idea The Paper Collector grew into an internationally successful Swiss design classic, with more than a million copies sold worldwide. In 2006 the design was included in the renowned three-volume publication Phaidon Design Classics, which highlights 999 influential design objects from the past two centuries. The Paper Collector was given number 884. The design was also included in the Design Store of the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York. A beautiful example of how a simple household object can grow into an internationally valued design object. Timeless and versatile With its glossy chrome finish and sculptural form, this Paper Collector easily fits into both modern, industrial and vintage interiors. Beautiful next to an armchair or sofa, but also a stylish eye-catcher in an office, library or study. Even without contents, this reading stand is a decorative object in its own right.
