Teakwood open shelf
1960s, Sweden
Bob's Box

Versatile open shelving.

Vintage open shelves made in Sweden.

While based on the rationality typical of Scandinavian furniture, this shelf has an aura that is clearly different from mass-produced products.

The overall design is linear and neat, but the approach to the frame, shelves and legs gives it a sculptural appeal that goes beyond that of simple storage furniture.

In particular, the lines extending from the side panels to the legs combine structural strength with visual lightness, demonstrating the high level of product perfection.

The bottom is a cabinet with doors and the top is an open shelf.

The design allows the user's sensibilities to be reflected directly, with items that give a sense of everyday life placed at the bottom and objects and books that need to be displayed at the top.

The varying spacing between shelves also shows attention to detail, as does the consideration given to how the product will look when displayed, as well as the sense of rhythm that has been applied to the design of the product itself.

The textured wood has a depth that only a vintage piece can have after years of use, and it blends naturally into any space.

It also has the power to tighten the tone of the entire space, so it harmonizes with a wide range of interior styles, including modern, mid-century, and industrial.
