About the Item
Designed in the early 1980s, the Patent Regal is a clear expression of the radical design language associated with the Pentagon Group, an influential German design collective known for challenging conventional furniture typologies. Wolfgang Laubersheimer, a central figure within the group, developed the shelf as a structurally honest and materially direct object. Constructed entirely from metal, the design emphasizes exposed construction, functional clarity, and industrial aesthetics, aligning with the experimental spirit of the period. Rather than concealing its structure, the Patent Regal makes construction a defining visual element. The piece reflects the Pentagon Group’s rejection of decorative excess in favor of conceptual rigor and material authenticity. Today, the Patent Regal is regarded as a rare and collectible example of progressive German design from the 1980s, positioned between functional shelving and sculptural object.
