This timeless piece features black lacquered metal tubes with cast aluminium connectors, semi-transparent float glass, and teak shelves. The design is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with metal corners that not only support the shelves but also connect the entire unit, enhancing its strength and stability. At the center of the unit, three teak veneered wooden shelves provide additional weight-bearing capacity and offer a striking contrast to the minimalist design of the metal and glass elements. The unit is in good and clean original condition, showing only minor age-related wear and signs of use. This versatile shelving system can serve as a display unit, bookcase, storage solution, or room divider, making it a perfect addition to any modern interior. The Abstracta system was designed with versatility in mind, primarily for display purposes. It can accommodate various items and collectibles, and its modular nature allows for customization.
