About the Item
Meet the Modernist steel shelving unit that does the most—and looks effortlessly cool while doing it. Dating from the 1980s, this striking, architectural piece stretches a full 3 meters long, delivering serious storage with a clean, graphic silhouette. The patinated steel surface has that perfect industrial-modern character: bold, minimal, and undeniably sculptural. And here’s the secret weapon: it has a finished backside, which means it doesn’t need to hide against a wall. Use it as a room divider, a gallery-style display, or a statement piece floating in the middle of a space—beautiful from every angle. We have three identical units available (!). Place them side by side and you get an insanely satisfying, extra-long library / bookshelf wall—the kind of installation that instantly makes a room feel designed. Big. Modular. Confident. Honestly? Fantastic. Priced and sold per piece.
* We can pack and ship world-wide ! Feel free to ask us a quote for shipping. The unit can be fully dismantled, easy for transportation.
