About the Item
Designed in 1984 by Wolfgang Laubersheimer for the avant-garde Pentagon Group, this shelf / bookcase is a rare example of the radical and experimental spirit that defined Germany’s postmodern design movement of the 1980s. Characterized by its bold structural composition and industrial aesthetic, the piece exemplifies Laubersheimer’s approach—merging functional furniture with sculptural form. The shelf’s deliberate use of raw materials, striking geometry, and precision engineering make it as much an artwork as it is a utilitarian object. The Pentagon Group, active from 1985 to 1991, was at the forefront of challenging design norms, blending architecture, art, and industrial culture. This shelf captures that ethos—timeless yet unapologetically of its era.
