Its simple design, composed of steel rods, can neatly store not only newspapers but also B4-sized magazines.

Furthermore, its portable structure makes it a useful storage solution for items like mats or slippers around the house. As evidenced by the fact that one in eight people in Switzerland owns this Paper Collector, it continues to enjoy enduring popularity over 30 years after its release.
