About the Item

This exceptional vintage freestanding wall unit shelving system, designed by the renowned Lou Hodges for California Design Group in the 1970s, exemplifies the best of mid-century modern craftsmanship and design aesthetics. Constructed with a warm oak finish that has aged gracefully, this hand-crafted piece remains in original, yet splendid vintage condition, offering a testament to its quality and durability. The unit's dimensions are approximately 63"W x 18"D x 78"H, making it a substantial and versatile addition to any space. The design features two distinct bays for a variety of storage and display options.

The right bay introduces an intriguing composition with an open space at the bottom, a cabinet just above, and a single shelf, offering a mix of display and storage solutions. The beams of the unit showcase exquisite joinery and the signature curved uprights that are emblematic of Hodges' work, enhancing the overall elegance and visual appeal of the piece. Proudly bearing the manufacture mark, this shelving system is not only a functional piece of furniture but also a collectible item that reflects its illustrious lineage. Lou Hodges, the designer behind this masterpiece, is celebrated for his innovative approach to furniture design, blending functionality with organic forms and a deep appreciation for natural materials.

This shelving system is incredibly versatile and would complement a wide range of interior styles, from the clean lines of mid-century modern dÈcor to the eclectic mix of contemporary spaces. Its natural oak finish and sophisticated silhouette make it an ideal choice for those looking to infuse their homes with a piece that bridges the gap between art and utility. Whether it's used to display cherished collectibles, house a library of books, or organize everyday items, this Lou Hodges designed shelving unit will undoubtedly enhance the aesthetic of any room, making it a cherished addition to any collection.
