Description
A sleek and stylish 1970s modernist étagère (open display shelving unit) reflecting the clean geometric lines of the Hollywood Regency and Mid-Century Modern eras. Constructed with a heavy, professional-grade welded square tubular metal frame, the piece features a brilliant, high-polish chrome finish.The vertical framework supports five tiers of inset rectangular clear glass shelving panes, providing an open, floating silhouette. This versatile unit functions exceptionally well against a wall as a bookcase or freestanding as an airy room divider. Designed with minimalist sensibilities, it closely mirrors the iconic 1970s display pieces attributed to Milo Baughman and contemporary manufacturers like the Design Institute of America (DIA).
