About the Item

This 80's light blue cerused oak modular wall bookcase, which is finished on the back so can also be used as a floating room divider, is by Lou Hodges and was designed and produced in California in the 1970s and 1980s. You can configure this modular set in so many ways, as three individual sections, one large and one small section or as one extremely large wall unit (as shown in the photos). The shelves are adjustable and can fit in between the bay units to extend the size... This one comes with 3 bay units, each with a floating cabinet, plus 11 shelves - 2 of which are wine bottle and wine glass holders. We also have additional bay sections and shelves if you are looking to combine more pieces into something even larger. Lou Hodges has become such a collectible designer in the past decade, as 70s California Modern design has surged in demand and value. This bookcase, refinished in a beautiful cerused light blue color with contrasting white grain, will bring some rock and roll vibe into any room. Consider using as a wall unit, a stand alone room divider, a bookcase or display cabinet or even as an entertainment storage system. The back is finished so it can float between spaces. There are many statement pieces out there, but if you want something truly unique for your client that no one else has - this could be that one thing you don't want to let slip away to your competition. This set comes with three (3) modular bays, each with a single floating cabinet, and eleven (11) adjustable shelves. By using the shelves in between the three bays you are able to create a five-section system as shown in the photos. Contact us if you would like to add additional pieces. This cerused oak room divider cabinet by Lou Hodges would work great in a California Modern, Organic Modern, Post-Modern, Mid-Century Modern, Space Age Mod, Scandanavian Modern or Danish Modern home or penthouse apartment but could also look fantastic in a Contemporary or Zen / Minimalism room. Also consider mixing it up in a Traditional, Transitional, Hollywood Regency, Classical or Art Deco room with a splash of juxtaposition. Would also be an apt choice in a commercial project such as a hotel lobby lounge or members club, creative design studio or high-rise executive office. MEASUREMENTS: Each Bay Section (3): H 76" x W 35.5" x D 18" Combined with one or more shelves in between each bay unit: H 76" x W 159.5" x D 18" Shelves are 30.25" wide *You can add additional bay units plus connector shelves to increase the width to as large as you wish. Contact us for more shelves and more bay units. We have a limited supply left of vintage Lou Hodges so we can only offer this while supplies last. CONDITION: Excellent restored condition, ready for immediate use.

Important Cerused Oak Sideboard by Vladimir Kagan for Kagan-Dreyfuss, Signed
By Kagan-Dreyfuss, Inc., Vladimir Kagan
Located in Los Angeles, CA
This important piece of design history was not only designed by Vladimir Kagan and handcrafted by Kagan-Dreyfuss in circa 1949 New York... this was also owned by Kagan himself and kept throughout his entire adult life (see provenance notes below). Each of the two pieces (lower credenza and upper dry bar / hutch) are signed on the back with Kagan-Dreyfuss New York stamps. The expansive size provides exceptional storage and use options. Kagan-Dreyfuss (Vladimir Kagan's partnership with Hugo Dreyfuss from circa 1950-1960) stamped pieces are amongst the most sought after by collectors and investors of art and design. Furniture with Kagan-Dreyfuss stamps are extremely hard to find and demand exceptional value, and this credenza with hutch is double stamped (one on each piece). Featuring a cerused oak exterior, with tambour doors on the lower credenza, sculpted handles (which slide to reveal a keyhole, no key is present however can be rekeyed) on the upper hutch...
