The Made to Measure series was all about flexibility: a modular system that allowed each cabinet to be tailored to the space and the user’s needs. It is precisely that freedom that makes this arrangement so appealing and timeless. The warm teak veneer, the slender black-lacquered metal legs, and the clean lines give the piece a calm, refined look. The open shelves offer plenty of space for books, ceramics, or personal collections, while the closed cabinets provide practical storage. The white door adds a subtle graphic accent against the warm wood and gives the piece a fresh, contemporary look. Thanks to its balanced layout, the wall unit appears spacious and airy, without compromising on functionality. This Pastoe Made to Measure wall unit is in very good vintage condition and has been carefully restored in a few places. The teak has been cleaned and re-oiled, beautifully highlighting the warm grain of the wood. The restorations were carried out with respect for the original design, while slight signs of wear are consistent with the piece’s age and contribute to its authentic character. A wall unit like this effortlessly adapts to its surroundings. Today filled with books and art, tomorrow with cherished memories. A timeless design in which craftsmanship, functionality, and elegance come together naturally.
