Free Standing bookshelves by Wim Reitveld for De Bijenkorf c.1960 (Pair)

Wim Rietveld, bookcase, black and white colored metal, The Netherlands, 1960.

This free-standing bookcase was originally designed by Wim Rietveld for the famous Dutch high-end department store De Bijenkorf in 1960. All horizontal shelves are colored black and in contrast with the white vertical elements. Due to the expressive unsymmetric arrangement of the two white sides and the white element functioning as a backwall, the black shelves hang over on one side. Rietveld imagined the bookcase to be free-standing and beautiful designed from all perspectives.
