About the Item

Robert Heal for Staples, 1964 'Ladderax' shelving system Two bay system. Seven wooden shelves (each with recessed metal supports), three metal 'ladder' uprights. Unit: W 184.5 cm, D 35.5 cm, H 162.5 cm Individual shelf boards: W 89.5 cm, D 35.5 cm Lovely system in very good condition with only normal light signs of age and a few deeper scratches to a couple of shelves - not generally visible. This has the wide and deep shelves - ideal for display and vinyl record storage. The shelves can be fitted in any configuration on the 'ladders' - and the system can easily be added to and extended. A very elegant, midcentury shelving system. The concept is similar to the 'String' system by Nisse Strinning and Kajsa Strinning. It would make a fantastic addition to a European mid-century themed modern interior. It works well together with the work of European and Scandinavian designers such as Alvar Aalto, Hans Wegner, Arne Jacobsen and Marcel Breuer. Viewing and collection can be arranged at our gallery + listening café (Jazz Kissa) in Brighton - Unit 22 Marshalls Row, Brighton BN14JU - Tel. 07837410546 - please contact us for more info.
