About the Item

Bookcase / wall shelving unit / room divider, solid ash, France, 1960s This mid-century modern French bookcase, dating from the 1960s, balances functionality with structural minimalism. Crafted from ash, its warm, honey-hued timber breathes a subtle sense of craftsmanship into its otherwise utilitarian design. The upright vertical supports are punctuated by regularly spaced circular holes, creating an adjustable and modular framework. The open sides, absent of any back panel, give the piece a breezy transparency that allows it to serve as an effective room divider without imposing itself too heavily on the space. The horizontal shelves, balanced on simple wooden supports, stretch confidently across the structure. Overall, this bookcase embodies the mid-century ethos: straightforward construction, honest materials, and an understated elegance that invites both books and precious objects to be placed.
