Tomado - Console table - Metal - modular wall system

Taken modular wall system – A.D. Dekker – Netherlands, 1950s/60s – iconic Dutch design

A beautiful and authentic Tomado modular wall system from the 1950s/60s, designed by Adriaan Dekker for the Dutch brand Tomado. This iconic system is a prime example of the optimistic and functional design of the post-war period and grew into one of the most recognizable designs within Dutch modernism.

The system consists of two black metal ladder frames and three original metal shelves in the classic Tomado colors red, white and yellow. This color scheme gives the whole a playful graphic character that fits perfectly with the modernist interior of the 50s and 60s. The shelves are easily adjustable and can be placed at different heights within the frame, making the system flexible in use.

Tomado (Van der Togt Massa Artikelen Dordrecht) introduced this modular wall system in the early 1950s. Dekker's design quickly gained international popularity due to its clever construction, light form, and the possibility to endlessly extend the system. Today it is regarded as a classic within mid-century modern design.

The shelves still bear the original Tomado Holland stamps, which confirms the authenticity of the piece. Thanks to the slim metal frame, the system almost seems to float on the wall, while remaining sturdy and functional. Ideal for books, ceramics, design objects, or as a decorative element in a modern or vintage interior.
