This piece masterfully combines minimalist visual lightness with exceptional functionality, serving as a perfect foundation for modern interiors—whether vintage, Scandinavian, or industrial/loft in style.
The unit features an openwork design composed of sturdy black metal ladder frames, stabilized by a subtle cross-brace. The four brown-finished shelves are fully height-adjustable, allowing the unit to be tailored to your specific display needs.
Importantly, this is a fully freestanding model—stable, balanced, and requiring no wall mounting, which offers great flexibility in interior arrangement.
Technical specifications:

Height: 114 cm
Width: 73.5 cm
Depth: 30 cm
Number of shelves: 4 (solid, stable, height-adjustable)
Structure: Metal painted in a semi-matte black finish + cross-braces
Condition: Good to very good, authentic vintage (stable structure).
Consistent with the piece's age, there are very faint signs of use on the wooden shelves and minor traces of corrosion on the metal frame—details that add to its authentic mid-century character. Ready for immediate placement in a living room, home office, or bedroom. See less
