DESCRIPTION
A striking example of Bohlin's avant-garde approach, this sculptural floor-standing shelf features a dramatic zigzag silhouette in black lacquered wood, anchored by a raw concrete triangular base. The five-tiered geometric form creates alternating display surfaces, demonstrating Bohlin's masterful fusion of brutalist materials with sophisticated design principles.
This piece exemplifies the designer's boundary-pushing aesthetic, developed during his influential career following his graduation from Stockholm's University College of Arts, Crafts, and Design. The interplay between the industrial concrete base and the precisely engineered black shelving structure showcases Bohlin's characteristic ability to merge raw materials with refined forms.
A significant piece from one of Scandinavia's most innovative designers of the late 20th century, whose work spans furniture, lighting, glassware, and architectural installations.
