This sculptural piece stands out for its interplay of wooden grids and transparencies, perfectly embodying the radical, architectural approach to French interior design of the early 1970s.

Freestanding elements in black lacquered wood interlock with a wood-web pattern create a strong graphic and visual impact.

Transparent shelves in thick tempered glass slide into grooves in the side and center frames, ensuring excellent strength and an elegant sense of lightness.

Perfect as a wall-mounted bookcase/shelf, as a refined low console table, or as a room divider.

The piece is in good vintage condition. It shows light signs of aging consistent with age and use (light surface scratches on the wood lacquer and glass), but retains its beauty and structural integrity intact. I have official proof of authenticity such as vintage catalogs,
designer records,
or other literature sources and take full responsibility for any authenticity issues arising
