ABOUT PRODUCTID 12207
This shelving unit and room divider, designed by Ludvík Volák for Dřevopodnik Holešov in the 1960s, exemplifies the organic modernism of mid-century Czech design. Crafted from bent, veneered plywood, it highlights the material’s qualities: a warm, medium brown hue with a subtle golden undertone enhances the visible wood grain, while the satin finish lends a gentle, understated sheen. The construction features a repeating geometric pattern of rectangles and squares with softly rounded corners, producing a sense of rhythmic openness and visual lightness. Its slender proportions (height 225 cm, width 90 cm, depth 15 cm) make it suitable as both a decorative room divider and an open shelving element for display. Smooth, rounded edges and seamless joints are hallmarks of the meticulous craftsmanship characteristic of 1960s Central European furniture. Condition: fully restored and finished with satin lacquer, with no visible signs of wear or damage. This piece resonates with the spirit of the 1960s, when innovative plywood bending allowed for new expressions in form and function. Volák’s shelving unit appears to invite light and air into the interior with its airy, openwork structure, suggesting both spatial freedom and a subtle sense of order. The repetition and soft curves evoke a narrative of simplicity and the optimism of discovering new material possibilities. The unit may be positioned as a see-through divider in an open-plan living area, allowing daylight to filter through and gently segment the space, or placed against a wall to serve as a dynamic backdrop for books, ceramics, or collected objects. It pairs well with other 1960s furniture, such as organically shaped upholstered chairs or minimalist sofas in
