It is a completely modular shelving system model called “ergo,” designed by john texmon and einar blindheim for blindheim møbelfabrikk.

the overall set size is h: 204 / w: 166 / d: 43 cm.

it features a practical dresser, a desk-shelf, a display cabinet with a characteristic pattern, and a display shelf for vinyl records, pictures, or plates. Slightly curved cabinets make an organic, warm impression, and sculptural rails create an elegant and grand-looking statement. This piece is perfect for a living room, bedroom, or dining room. It creates a very decorative, sculpture-like effect. additionally, the set’s authenticity is confirmed by the “made in norway” stamp on the back of the display cabinet.

the set consists of:

- a display shelf for vinyl records 14 cm height,
- 2 shelves 21 cm depth,
- a dresser h: 47 / w: 78 / d: 42 cm (drawer’s height 8 cm),
- a shelf with sides 22 cm depth,
- a display cabinet h: 43 / w: 78 / d: 24 cm,
- 3 solid teak supports 204 cm,
- brass hardware.

the unit has been fully renovated. The wood has been cleaned with professional compounds and finished with layers of satin lacquer identical to the original one. Overall, it is in great vintage condition, with absolutely minor signs of use.
