Post - Modern "John IId" Shelving Unit by Philippe Starck for Disform, 1980
Located in Barcelona, Cataluna
The "John IId" shelving unit was designed by Philippe Starck for Disform in 1890 . It’s a modular design. Consists of 2 black coated tubular metal rods which supports 5 wooden shelves through an ingenious system. Beech wood. t is easier to find them all in black. As we previously highlighted, he is a multidisciplinary artist. So, he does not excel only in one subject, but he is someone very versatile and creative, a brilliant mind. He dedicates himself to the design of everyday products such as furniture and lemon squeezers to revolutionary mega-yachts, intensely vibrant, exhilarating and spooky hotels and the miraculous technologies of individual wind turbines and electricity. As if this were not enough, his creative desires have also led him to car design. Therefore, we are talking about a true visionary who puts the art of innovation at the service of a design and a democratic ecology, driven by action and respectful of human heritage and nature, be it with the Elise recycling bin or the Zartan, the first fully recycled rotomolded chair. We could also highlight among his most relevant works the design of affordable and adjustable PATH houses. A high-tech prefab housing project, they recently attested to the durability of an approach he began in 1994 with the prefab house for sale in the 3 Suisses...

Antique, New and Vintage Shelves

From valuable historical memorabilia to rare architectural models to priceless family photos, there’s no shortage of collectibles and curiosities worthy of adorning your home. Why not take the time to find the ideal antique, new or vintage shelves for your treasured trinkets?

For every space and object, there’s sure to be a wall-mounted or sturdy floor solution that matches your shelving needs on 1stDibs. And while shelves should technically stick out from your wall, they shouldn’t from the rest of your decor.

Because you can find shelves made with a wide variety of materials today, everything from teak to brass, your shelving can seamlessly support your existing color scheme and design style. An arrangement of shelves from floor to ceiling can turn your wall into a proud storage space for displaying artwork, decorative objects and books. Options abound with regard to shelving for the latter, as furniture designers know that literature creates an inviting atmosphere in any room, and one of the simplest ways to integrate books into an interior design is with the right shelves or bookcase.

Elegant shelving is a must for a happy home office or library, but a sharp shelving system can freshen up virtually any room in your home. Proudly display your vintage dinner plates and other tableware with open shelving in the kitchen or tuck away linens in big baskets on shelves in your bathroom if you’re navigating life without a proper linen closet.

On 1stDibs, find a wide range of shelves that includes everything from mid-century modern floating shelves to decorative Chinese shelves dating from the 18th century to contemporary statement-making structures that are as provocative as they are convenient.
