This sculptural shelving unit exemplifies Evans’ iconic patchwork metal technique, composed of individually applied polished chrome panels that create a richly textured reflective surface. The geometric architectural frame surrounds floating smoked glass shelves, giving the piece a striking visual lightness despite its substantial structure.

Paul Evans was a leading figure of the American studio furniture movement, and his work for Directional helped define the bold sculptural aesthetic of 1970s modernism.

This etagere comes from the same suite as a signed Paul Evans console and credenza, further supporting the attribution.

The mirrored patchwork chrome captures light beautifully from every angle, making this piece equally suitable as a display shelf, sculptural bookcase, or statement room divider.

A rare and highly collectible example of Evans’ work that blends functional storage with iconic studio craft design.
