Italian Mid-Century Suspended Wall Unit Boockase in Walnut and Gilded Metal 1960

About the Item

An eye-catching mid-century Italian wall unit or bookcase made from gilded metal and walnut shelves that can be adapted to any setting due to its lightness and refinement. The bookcase is composed of N.5 track supports, N.16 shelves brackets, N.4 shelves length 60 cm,n.4 walnut shelves length 110 cm. Its originality lies in its ability to be assembled according to your needs (both in terms of length and shelving arrangement), even if you want you can get two divided wall units, a module with two supports and another with three supports. During the restoration, it was decided to remove the old screw holes on the shelves in order to have more options for composing the bookcase. Very well-kept conditions, completely restored, ready to use, very easy to assemble. It's a splendid example of 1960 Italian design.

  • Large Czechoslovakian Modernist Oak and Walnut Freestanding Wall Unit by Jitona
    Located in Brooklyn, NY
    Versatile freestanding wall-unit/bookcase in oak, walnut, and pine with aluminum, steel, and brass accents by Jitona (1968, Lomnice nad Lužnicí, Czechoslovakia). Five bays can be assembled in total if all pieces are utilized together - seven pine rails, three long shelves, three long cabinets (including one that is half drawers/half open storage), three long glass fronted cabinets, two shorter cabinets, three shorter glass fronted cabinets, and one drop-down cabinet/bar with glass shelves. All cabinet shelves are removable, though not adjustable. Feet for the cabinets and rails are all adjustable, and the disks on the rails offer stability and protection to both floors and ceilings when adjustments are made. The longer pieces displayed as the three bay unit are all 35.25" long, while the shorter pieces displayed as the two bay unit are all 29.5" L. The configuration options for this highly functional unit are limitless. The bar cabinet, five-drawer walnut chest, glass-fronted cabinets, door-fronted cabinets, and two shelves can be custom-assembled based on requirements/aesthetic preference; the shorter pieces just need to be arranged within the same two bays. The legs for all cabinets can be removed, though, depending on the heft of the items displayed/stored, wall-mounting might be required if the weight is too great for the rails alone to adequately support. The 29.38" high cabinets with legs (if using the legs) must be arranged at the bottom, leaving 64.75" of usable rail height for mounting the other pieces. There are some fleabites to the glass (mostly to the edges concealed by the wooden frame when closed) along with light wear the wood consistent with age/use. Conservatively restored and in very fine, vintage condition. Assembled as a 5-bay unit as shown in the fifth image: Measures: H: 105.38" x L: 171" x D: 16".
