This large, mobile plant stand from the 1980s exemplifies a minimalist, geometric aesthetic characteristic of late modernism. Its structure consists of three rectangular shelves crafted from wood or wood-based material, finished in a medium-brown, glossy veneer with a linear wood grain. The shelves are arranged in an asymmetrical, stepped composition— the largest at the base, with two smaller ones ascending on one side. Straight, rectangular legs support the shelves and are fitted with small, black plastic casters, allowing for effortless movement. The construction is straightforward, with visible right-angle joints and balanced proportions, free from decorative accents and focused on functional clarity. The design allows for the display of plants or small objects at varying heights, while its mobility reflects the era’s emphasis on adaptable living. Condition is good, with a visible tear on the edging of one shelf and some scuffing on the wooden shelf connectors— typical traces of use from the 1980s. The piece speaks in the pragmatic language of 1980s German design: consistently stripped of ornament, yet open to experimentation with space. The warm brown veneer recalls interiors where simplicity and practicality were paramount— each shelf level invites a personalised arrangement, without imposing a rigid structure. Its mobility and clear geometry suggest an object conceived for the shifting requirements of daily life, always ready for new configurations and positions. The plant stand would suit a vintage-inspired living room, paired with furnishings from the 1970s and 1980s, or a contemporary setting where its strong lines and warm finish can temper minimalist austerity.
