Here is a couple of images. I have a dark teak plywood version.
Sorry the images are not particulary good.

[massimo]

Indeed.

Thanks Massimo, just did a quick google, did you know one of these sold in the USA for $7500 last May... wow!

Yes, thanks, I saw it and that one has only four shelves.
Anyway, in my opinion, that the price seems a bit exorbitant.

So what do you want for yours?

[massimo]

Well I don't know, I'm not interested in selling it and I'm not an expert in the field of old furnitures. Anyway I saw one at 2.000 € somewhere on the net. It was a bit damaged/rusted though.
Originally this was intended as a modular system with simple and pretty cheap elements. So 7.500 $ for a basic piece like that looks a bit too much for me. I've always thought that, generally speaking, design furnitures are somehow overpriced and especially when you look at modern antiques.

[pilou]

That is pure speculation like for the chairs of Jean Prouvé!
minimum 5 000 €
What a crazzy world!

The prices of mid-century furniture these days is amazing!

And what a stunning piece of furniture to rediscover! I'm going to obsessed now myself to find one!

[massimo]

Thanks Richard and good luck for your search.

Very true, have you noticed the 'distressing' on the timber.
Insane detail...

[massimo]

Thanks again guys.

Actually that's a pretty articulated material with a mixed bump (wood veins, dents, and scratches), a roughness map and a coloured coating.
