An architectural shelving system or room divider in teak and lacquered metal. Italy 1960s.
The shelving comprises four uprights - which can be configured as two single bays, a double or triple bay - together with three cabinets and ten shelves. The uprights have inverted Y feet, with adjustable brass feet, and an extendable upper section to allow the uprights to be braced against the ceiling. Each component is finished both front and back, allowing the system to be used as a room divider.
