About the Item
This very rare freestanding bookcase, designed by Poul Nørreklit and produced by Sigurd Hansen Møbelfabrik in Denmark during the 1960s, is a sophisticated example of Scandinavian modern design. The bookcase features a carefully crafted combination of rosewood, steel, and plexiglass, which reflects the high-quality materials and minimalist aesthetic characteristic of mid-century Danish furniture. The structure of the bookcase is composed of multiple functional compartments, including two upper cabinets with sliding doors, open shelving, and two lower storage compartments. This design provides both closed and open storage options, offering versatility while maintaining a clean, streamlined appearance.
The rosewood surfaces of the bookcase are a standout feature, displaying a rich and dynamic grain pattern that enhances the piece’s visual interest. The natural beauty of the rosewood is complemented by the plexiglass side panels, which lend an airy, light feel to the overall construction, helping to balance the heavier mass of the wood. The contrast between these materials adds to the modernist appeal of the bookcase, showcasing the skillful integration of both traditional and contemporary materials.
In terms of condition, the bookcase is in very good vintage condition, with only minor signs of age-related wear. The wood and plexiglass elements show some subtle signs of use, typical for a piece of this age, but these do not detract from the overall integrity and aesthetic appeal of the piece. The sliding doors function smoothly, and the overall structure remains sturdy and functional.
The dimensions of the bookcase are as follows: a width of 204 cm (80.3 inches), a depth of 45 cm (17.7 inches), and a height of 200 cm (78.7 inches). These dimensions make it an imposing yet elegant addition to any interior, offering ample storage space while serving as a statement piece in a living room, office, or library.
