Ergo 3-Bay Teak Freestanding Modular Shelving Blindheim Mobelfabrikk Norway 1961
By Blindheim Møbelfabrikk AS, John Texmon
Located in Sherborne, Dorset
This Scandinavian freestanding “Ergo" 3-Bay teak modular shelving unit was designed by John Texmon and Einar Blindheim for Blindheim Mobelfabrikk, Norway in the 1960s. The gently curved edges of the cabinets and nicely sculpted elevated legs make for a very elegant statement piece.
This particular system is well-balanced and symmetrical, with a central bar, flanked by two cabinets, two cupboards and four shelves.
This shelving system with four uprights, can be moved to any configration and includes four shelves, two cabinets with a diamond shaped design on the sliding glass doors, backed with the original period green backing boards, which are also in the rear of both cupboards and bar. The two matching cupboards have sliding doors with a single shelf, and the dropdown bar, with key, opens to reveal the original Mica laminate bar in a fantastic grey and white sixties pattern.
In very clean vintage condition, the set is still wearing its original finish and has recently been gently oiled and is ready to be fitted.
