About the Item
Wolfgang Laubersheimer, early signed “Verspanntes Regal” Shelf, Germany, 1980s
This 'Verspanntes Regal' shelf is an exceptionally rare piece by Wolfgang Laubersheimer, personally signed and dedicated by the designer, making it a highly collectible object. Conceived in the early 1980s during Laubersheimer’s engagement with the experimental Pentagon Group network, the design reflects the radical German postmodern ethos of the era without being a commissioned piece for the collective. Crafted from welded steel sheet with a natural patina, the shelf’s tensioned steel cable is both structural and defining for its visual identity. This early signed and dedicated version is notable not only for its innovative construction but also for its personal provenance, confirming authenticity. The shelf merges functional clarity with sculptural presence, standing as a distinctive example of 1980s Neues Deutsches Design and a rare collector’s object.
