produced in denmark during the 1960s, the system is crafted from teak wood and teak veneer. Its characteristic construction is based on two vertical wall-mounted rails with regularly spaced holes, allowing the individual components to be positioned at different heights.

the set consists of two shelves of different depths and a spacious wall-mounted cabinet with internal shelving. Together, the elements create a light, architectural composition characteristic of the finest danish modernist furniture of the 1960s.

the warm tone of the teak, minimalist proportions and adjustable configuration make the system ideal as a compact bookcase, display shelving or storage unit for a living room, study or home office.
