French Black Lacquered & Brass Étagère with Open Shelfs by Pierre Vandel, 1970s
About the Item
Extravagant Pierre Vandel black lacquered aluminium étagères with brass detailing and black glass shelves.
Labelled - Pierre Vandel Paris - Circa late 1970s.
The cleanly defined lines of this shelving would be perfect for displaying studio pottery or art glass, etc.
The object which stands out for its clarity and the special division of the shelves that makes the design distinctive.
A lacquered original object from the 7190s usually has scratches and damages to the lacquer that takes away the value and beauty of the object.
Therefore, we decided to restore the shelf, which was enormously costly and time-consuming.
The work steps were as follows:
- Shelf completely disassembled in 68 single pieces (see our list)
-Took out all the retracted brass strips and retracted an alternative green strip for it.
- All individual parts were polished and lacquered 2 times.
- All brass strips retracted again
- Object reassembled.
For this reason, this shelf from the 70's is in very good condition, only one brass stripe have a loss of color at the lower end, please see the last image.
PIERRE VANDEL
Furniture designer Pierre Vandel was born in 1946 in Roubaix, on the outskirts of Lille in France.
He is best known for his angular designs, which exude the glamorous yet minimalist aesthetic that heavily dominated French furniture and lighting design in the 1970s.
His friendship with the iconic fashion designer Pierre Cardin proved to be a real turning point in Vandel’s design career, launching him into international success. Cardin supported Vandel’s efforts by encouraging him to create his own brand, Pierre Vandel – Paris, and then spread the word to the rich and famous, who purchased Vandel’s designs.

Pierre Vandel
A Pierre Vandel coffee table is a striking statement piece. High-contrast and unmistakably stylish, Vandel’s tables are sophisticated and opulent, with the visual power that Hollywood Regency and mid-century modern furnishings bring to a modern space.
Vandel was born in 1939 in Roubaix, France. He graduated around 1957 with a focus on industrial assembly and design and became part of the research teams at Ponts et Chaussées and Arts et Métiers, two respected engineering and research schools in Paris. Before entering the world of furniture, Vandel worked on projects that satisfied his curiosity and drive for experimentation, including a vertical aquarium and hi-fi systems.
Vandel’s breakthrough in furniture came a few years later. In 1969, the Marais International company bought 5,000 units of Vandel’s side tables and offered a meeting with French fashion and furniture designer Pierre Cardin. Becoming a friend and advisor, Cardin offered his support and connected Vandel to an affluent market that swooned over his glamorous designs.
Vandel’s glass coffee tables — often accented with brass frames or lacquered wood — remain among his most in-demand work. His Vertèbre chair from 1972 is one of his more elusive designs. With only 800 ever produced, half with armrests and half without, this lounge chair is coveted not only for its rarity but also for its unique spine-like frame.
Vandel’s furniture continues to be recognized for its imaginative forms and is prized by collectors as a piece of design history.
