Product description
The Jonh Ild bookcase is one of Philippe Starck's first designs . Manufactured by Disform in 1982, this 1977 design takes its name from Philip K. Dick's science fiction novel Ubik. The designer refers to it in several of his creations. The basic structure of the furniture consists of two/three tubular metal uprights and thin metal rods supporting five wooden shelves. The shelves vary in width and are 20, 24, 30, 34, 40cm wide and 100cm long. The unit is easy to place against a wall/attach with three screws and is painted black. The cabinet is completely demountable. Of course, you can also use one half. That means then two uprights and 5 shelves in use. Then you can vary. The other shelves you then have in reserve. With clear lines and geometric structure, this object shows the perfect balance between form and function. Besides books, you can also place beautiful objects in it. The wall rack / bookcase is in good vintage condition. overall height: 224 cm, deep 50 cm, wide 212 cm.

The wall rack/bookcase is in good vintage condition. There is one shelf that needs attention because due to apparently excessive strain, this one shelf has split where the metal rod is placed. See photo. Is still good to restore. There are small damages/use marks here and there in the shelves but they are certainly not noticeable. The furniture has been carefully used in a clean and smoke-free environment.
