About the Item
A refined example of Dutch mid-century modern design, this modular bookcase was designed by Willem Lutjens and manufactured by Gouda Den Boer in the 1950s.
Lutjens is renowned for his elegant use of bent plywood and his dedication to functional simplicity. This shelving system perfectly illustrates his approach — featuring gently curved ends, interlocking vertical supports, and a balanced, architectural composition that feels both light and sculptural.
Crafted from teak veneer plywood, the bookcase combines warmth and precision craftsmanship. Its timeless silhouette makes it ideal for displaying books, ceramics, or decorative objects in a refined modern interior.
