Orba Shelving System by Janet Schwietzer for Pace Collection
About the Item
Rarer than hens' teeth I've been stalking this ORBA wall system for years. Sublimely fine design and metal skills. Cast tubes of polished aluminum fit together horizontally and vertically so the joints seem seamless. Each bottom shelf is fitted with a lighting unit. Five heavy glass shelves. Janet Schwietzer's design patent shows the shelves in three sections above three small individual wall mounted floating credenzas. This model has two sections and was originally purchased with a single 7 foot dark elm burl wall mounted credenza which we also have available separately.
This wall mounted shelving system is as much sculpture as storage.
