About the Item
An impressive, custom-designed Ate Van Apeldoorn pine wall unit, this extra-large piece offers comprehensive storage and a functional workspace. Dating from the 1970s, the unit comprises three distinct sections: a lower desk with double storage cabinets, a smaller storage cabinet with four drawers, and a large upper unit providing generous overhead storage. All components are fitted with expert joinery, a hallmark of Van Apeldoorn's renowned craftsmanship.
Ate Van Apeldoorn (1925-1989) was a celebrated Dutch designer known for his commitment to using solid, natural materials, especially pine, and for his emphasis on visible, honest craftsmanship. His designs often featured robust, architectural forms and exceptional joinery, embodying a unique blend of organic modernism and rustic brutalism. This custom wall unit perfectly exemplifies Van Apeldoorn's distinctive style, offering both immense functionality and a striking aesthetic that celebrates the material's inherent beauty and the artisan's skill.
Constructed from solid pine, this wall unit's substantial build is testament to its quality and durability. The integration of a desk (W 58.625 x D 27.125 x H 28.875 inches, with a 19.75-inch opening), multiple storage cabinets, and drawers showcases a well-thought-out design for maximum utility. The large upper cabinet has a depth of 16.125 inches. The entire unit is meticulously crafted with expert joinery, highlighting Van Apeldoorn's dedication to precision. It is presented in original condition with some wear consistent with its age, including minor chipping to the edges. Due to its solid construction and size, it is an extremely heavy unit, reflecting its robust nature.
This custom Ate Van Apeldoorn wall unit is an ideal solution for a home office, a spacious living area, or a studio, providing ample storage and a dedicated workspace within a single, cohesive design. Its warm pine tones and honest craftsmanship make it a versatile addition to interiors ranging from Mid-Century and Scandinavian modern to contemporary and rustic settings. This unique, custom piece offers both significant utility and a tangible connection to the celebrated legacy of a master Dutch designer.
