About the Item

Pentagon bookshelf designed by Wolfgang Laubersheimer, a striking example of late 20th-century minimal design. Crafted from folded steel, this sculptural shelving unit features a subtle curved profile that gives the piece a dynamic, almost architectural presence. The clean lines and industrial material create a strong visual contrast between lightness and solidity. The open structure offers multiple spacious compartments, making it ideal for displaying books, magazines, art objects, or collectibles. A discreet tension cable with metal fixings adds both stability and an industrial detail to the design. This bookshelf works beautifully as a statement piece in a modern interior, office, or gallery space. Dimensions: Length: 229 cm Width: 40 cm Depth: 31.5 cm The piece is in good vintage condition, with light signs of wear consistent with age and use, adding to its authentic character.
