Bespoke Asymmetrical "Studio Grid" Shelving Unit in Solid Pine – Vintage Utility
-
Aesthetics: A striking example of "Honest Design." Constructed from solid Pine, this unit has aged to a warm, golden-honey hue. It lacks pretension, relying instead on its geometric rhythm and exposed grain to make a statement. It channels a Donald Judd-esque minimalism but with the warmth of country vernacular furniture.
-
Configuration: The layout is intelligently asymmetrical, suggesting a bespoke origin for a specific trade. It features a mix of standard "pigeon hole" cubbies, a tall vertical gallery slot (top right—rare and highly desirable), and a double-width cavern (bottom left), breaking the visual repetition and offering versatile storage solutions.
-
Provenance: Likely a custom-made piece for an art school, workshop, or retail space (c. 1980s/90s). It represents Sustainable Utility—solid wood construction that can be sanded, waxed, and repurposed for decades.
The Interior Stylist's Note: This is the ultimate 'Life Organizer.' In a kitchen, use it as an open larder for jars, cookbooks, and heavy mixing bowls. In a living room, it is a ready-made Vinyl Station (the bottom left void is perfect for a box of LPs or a Marshall speaker). The top right slot screams out for a tall piece of dried foliage or a large architectural print.
Condition & Restoration: structurally sound and solid. The pine has been cleaned and retains a rich wax finish. There are expected signs of use—small indentations and knots that are intrinsic to the material and add to the "modern rustic" charm. see pictures
