About the Item

A free standing, mid-century modern, shelving system with table/desk designed in Sweden by Olof Pira. This example designed to clamp between floor and ceiling making it possible to use it freestanding instead of mounted against a wall. As you can see in the last photo it seems as though a young Mick Jagger was quite the fan. Wonderful original vintage condition.
