Designed in the 1960s, the system remains a benchmark in modular modernism — understated, intelligent, and endlessly adaptable.

This particular setup features two closed storage units — one with sliding doors and one with a drop-up front — seamlessly integrated into the aluminum track system. A minimal upper shelf completes the composition, offering space for display while maintaining a clean architectural line. The soft cream, grey-toned panels and exposed aluminum structure evoke Rams’ commitment to restraint and utility, hallmarks of his design ethos.
Good overall vintage condition. Minor surface wear and patina consistent with age, structurally solid and fully functional — a testament to Vitsoe's high production standards.

It offers a harmonious balance between closed storage and open display, perfect for books, objects, and table light. The system’s timeless aesthetic makes it as relevant today as it was over 50 years ago. This piece has an attribution mark,
