The color and finish set the tone for this sleek and versatile wall unit. The “Omnibus” or “Omni” shelving system is a modern marvel designed by George Nelson. (4) spring loaded tension poles provide architectural support for (9) walnut shelves without the need to anchor into your wall (unless you want to). An additional set of two support spanners are included if your ceiling height doesn’t provide the perfect tension. This 3-bay unit can be displayed in reverse, with the poles against the wall, depending on your practical and esthetic preference. We love displaying the poles on the outside to make a bold statement and show off the awesome color. There are tons of extra shelf brackets too! Seriously, you could add another 10 shelves and still have some left over. The original owner had this paired with a virtually identical version with rose gold uprights and shelf brackets. That version can be combined and is also available and sold separately. This system relies on adjustable braces to hold the beautifully patinated walnut shelves. The braces can be easily loosened with an Allen wrench to allow for shelves to displayed in virtually infinite positions. Screws are also provided to secure the shelves to the brackets. Original instructions included for easy assembly.

The springs allow for a height differential of about 6 to 7 inches. Included with each spring, is a spacer which increases the max height.
