About the Item

This striking Bauhaus-style bookshelf from the 1950s is a quintessential example of mid-century modern design, blending form and function with refined industrial aesthetics. Crafted with a minimalist steel frame and elegant glass shelving, the piece reflects the Bauhaus movement’s dedication to utility, clarity, and timeless beauty. What makes this bookshelf truly unique is its rare combination of scale, material quality, and period authenticity. Measuring 170 cm in length, 40 cm in width, and standing an impressive 215 cm tall, its open design offers versatile storage and display options for books, curated objects, or artwork—ideal for both residential interiors and professional environments. The structure is in good vintage condition, with wear consistent with age, including minor surface marks and a gentle patina on the steel that adds character without compromising integrity. Its clean lines and transparent shelves create a sense of visual lightness, allowing it to integrate seamlessly into both modern and eclectic spaces. While the exact origin is unknown, the design’s precision and craftsmanship are a clear nod to the legacy of 20th-century European modernism. For collectors and design enthusiasts, this is not just a functional bookshelf, but a sculptural, historical piece that elevates any space with its understated elegance and Bauhaus pedigree.
