Product description
Pattern is a bookcase designed by Alfredo Häberli for Quodes: this original version of his design was named "Best Shelving" of the year by Wallpaper Magazine in January 2007.
There are only 2 Pattern bookcases ever built to the original design, which we have kept in our warehouse and are now offering in 2 separate ads on Whoppah.
We later decided to offer Pattern with an aluminum composite material and back panel, as the original required too much work and craftsmanship. Although the later versions are absolutely beautiful, "nothing beats the original" with its expressive and dominant character.
Dimensions: 100x200x36 cm (we also offer a 200x200x36 cm version, see our other ad)
Material / construction: open structure, free-standing, made of MDF with black edges, covered with white HPL (RAL 9003).
More about the design Zurich-born ALFREDO HÄBERLI chose basic geometric shapes and stacked them on top of each other to create interesting patterns. Both the variation and the contours give the furniture a fascinating and visual form. Furniture as sculpture, suitable for storing books and displaying objects.
Pattern has been exhibited at the Museum für Gestaltung in Zurich in 2008 and at the Interior Trends exhibition of the IMM 2010 in Cologne, among others, marking designers' eternal urge to experiment. Moreover, it has been widely published in art books and magazines for both architects and consumers. Pattern is quite heavy and therefore fragile. Therefore, we store Pattern in a wooden box and seriously interested potential buyers can see Pattern up close in our warehouse. Images: Image 1-5: the offered cabinet Image 6-8: the same cabinet, but the larger version, with the designer and free standing at the Interieur Biennale in Kortrijk, to give an impression Image 9: the offered cabinet and its packaging Image 10: the back with some 'chipped' spots, barely viewable from some distance.
There are some minor damages (chipped spots) on the back, but they are hardly noticeable, especially when the cabinet is against a wall. From a distance they are barely visible and easily camouflaged with some retouching paint. There are also slight traces of the glue used.
The last picture shows the back. We can send detailed photos of these spots upon request.
