About the Item

Stylish and functional, this is the Classic Staples Ladderax midcentury shelving system. The gold metal uprights and easy removable supports, allow the teak cabinetry to be positioned wherever required. This is a very versatile piece of retro furniture. Ladderax adjustable, modular shelving systems are a true midcentury design Classic and are very highly sought after today. Ladderax was designed by Robert Heal in 1964 and manufactured by Staples of Cricklewood in London for sale in high end stores like Harrods, Heals, etc. Heal was influenced by the Danish school of design. This midcentury Scandinavian design movement was all about reinterpreting simple, linear shapes from earlier design periods and making them ‘simpler’. This system features four full height bays of Ladderax with nine shelves and six cabinets separated by gold metal ladders. The cabinetry consists of three chests of drawers, a drinks cabinet, a cabinet with sliding doors and interior shelf, and a single drawer unit which can be used as a neat little desk or dressing table. Five of the units are lockable, with key provided. Remember that the cabinets can be moved around and set at different heights to suit your needs and the bays can be configured in different arrangements too. There is also the option of splitting up the bays if you’d like to feature ladderax in two different places. The Ladderax system combines upright ‘ladders’ that support shelves and cabinets, which sit on steel rods that hook onto the rungs of the ladders. One of the great benefits of Ladderax over its Scandinavian counterparts is that it doesn’t need to be attached to the wall. The whole set up breaks down easily when it needs to be moved and is so simple to rebuild. You can also be clever and source extra cabinets, rods, shelves and/or ladders to allow you add to and alter your configuration. Height 200cm – Length 277cm – Depth(at deepest point) 42cm.
