Crafted from warm pine veneer with solid pine doors, it exudes natural elegance and superb craftsmanship. Its well proportioned design reveals the hand of a talented though unknown designer who created a piece of timeless beauty through harmony and subtle detail. The ensemble consists of thirteen modules that together form an impressive architectural composition. Two large elements with glass doors elegantly display objects or books, while five smaller units with wooden doors provide concealed storage. Two modules feature a vivid cinnabarred back panel, introducing a bold modernist accent, and four open units add lightness and transparency to the overall structure.

Each element follows the 32mm shelving system, allowing the shelves to be adjusted to different heights. This modularity offers endless configuration possibilities from a symmetrical bookcase to a vitrine like display or a spatial composition with rhythmic variation. Professionally cleaned, disinfected, and carefully restored, the wall unit has been treated to preserve the natural warmth and texture of the pine veneer. The silky matte finish highlights the wood grain and gives the piece a calm yet distinctive presence. Whether used as a sculptural wall feature in a modern living space, as elegant storage in a studio, or as a statement piece in a mid-century interior, this modular system is more than a functional object it is a piece of design history that enriches any environment with its clear lines and poetic sense of form and color.
