ABOUT PRODUCTID 10778
This mobile shelving unit from the 1980s is a representative example of utilitarian modernist design from the era. The frame, crafted from chrome-plated metal with a mirror-like finish, creates a striking geometric silhouette based on four cylindrical legs. Three transparent glass shelves, each with a smooth, polished surface and circular shape, add a sense of lightness, contrasting with the metallic structure. A straightforward, angular chrome handle attached to the top shelf emphasizes the piece's functional character, while four small black plastic wheels enable effortless mobility. The design is free of decorative accents, focusing instead on clean lines and practicality, in keeping with late modernist aesthetics. The unit is preserved in good condition: areas of oxidation and patina are visible on the chrome, especially near the base of the legs, while the glass shelves remain free from damage. This piece echoes the voice of the 1980s—a time when functionality and reduction of form were just as significant as the pursuit of modernity. The chrome frame, reflecting light like an urban landscape, recalls the spirit of loft interiors and post-industrial optimism. The glass shelves, seemingly suspended in air, suggest lightness and movement, as if the unit is always ready to relocate or adapt to new needs. Subtle traces of age on the metal surface attest to the authenticity and history of the piece. This shelving unit could be paired with a sofa of clean lines and a mid-century coffee table to create a cohesive, collector’s composition. It would work well in industrial or modernist interiors, especially as a mobile bar, display for vinyl records, or stand for books and plants. It is worth combining with accessories in dark glass, steel, or lacquered wood to enhance the cool elegance of the chrome and the transparency of the shelves.
