A mid-century teak bookcase by Pierre Cruège - France - 1950s

About the Item

This mid-century teak bookcase, designed by Pierre Cruège (1913-2003) for Éditions Formes in France during the 1950s, presents a harmonious fusion of sculptural artistry and sturdy craftsmanship. The teak's rich patina accentuates its vibrant, warm appearance, underscoring the meticulous attention to detail. With five shelves, including a more spacious bottom shelf, this piece elegantly balances postwar industrial influences with the artisanal charm of prewar design. Cruège's creations masterfully integrate functionalism with organic, carved forms, making this bookcase a timeless and sophisticated addition to any interior.
