Pair of freestanding mid-century bookshelves. Circa 1950s.

Constructed of rich coloured solid cherry and mahogany woods with solid brass detailing / 91 x 24.5 x 70cm high (129.2 cm high when stacked)

A smart and rare pair of stackable solid wood bookshelves with a strong angular silhouette. Of English origin; they are designed in the manner of Angelo Mangiarotti & B Morassutti.

Discreetly shaped edges of the sidepieces enable them to be stacked to form a single, taller unit. Each unit can be easily dismantled and flat-packed for easy transport/shipping.

Price: 1.500 euro

Bram van den Berg (Nl)

Stained pine wood chair.

A rare chair made after a commission from Bas van Pelt / The Hague. Circa 1953 for the youth hostel at Ockenberg-Kijckduin in The Netherlands.

This chair’s rudimentary but simple form and functional design typifies the spirit of the utilitarian design movement that surrounded the WWII period in Europe.
