Article Abstract:
The newsstand at the lobby of the First Interstate World Center boasts of an innovative magazine rack. The display rack's design is a modified version of Mobile Shelving System's standard display system but the end product features an interplay of color and form when the display magazines are placed. Chrome rods support seven acrylic shelves which are divided into eight sections. The L-shaped shelves are tilted at 15 degrees and fitted with a four-inch bottom lip to keep the magazines from falling. The rack fits into the overall lobby design and creates an appealing display for magazine lovers.
