Pilastro – Tjerk Reijenga – Vintage metal wall shelf – The Netherlands, 1950s/60s

Rare vintage Dutch design wall shelf, attributed to Tjerk Reijenga for Pilastro, from the 1950s/60s.

A beautiful example of functional and minimalist Dutch mid-century design.

This elegant wall shelf consists of three original white-painted, perforated metal shelves, combined with two slim black metal side supports with characteristic triangular load-bearing structures.

The design is characterized by its airy look, clean geometric lines, and the subtle contrast between the white perforated metal and the black wire-steel supports.

The shelves can be removed from the side supports individually, making the rack easy to dismantle and transport.

Condition

On the white metal shelves there are localized light paint defects, discolorations and traces of oxidation visible. Especially at the bottom there are some more pronounced signs of use.

This original patina has been deliberately preserved and contributes to the authentic character of the piece.

The black metal side supports are present and retain their characteristic shape.

Please inspect all photos carefully. The underside of the shelves has also been photographed to provide an honest and complete view of the condition.
