Rare freestanding modular shelving system, original Webe. Back in the late 1950ies, Louis van Teeffelen and Webe created these Danish style modular shelving units, which became an instant succes. This rosewood edition was the most exclusive and expensive in the Webe catalogue.

This set contains the attractive wooden ‘ant leg’ floor stands, which makes it much easier to build up the system against the wall, and also give it much more support. The dark brown color compliments the rosewood timber and the metal hooks very well, and gives this piece a fantastic elgegant appearance. The both cabinets offers a maximum of functionality.

This unit will add a warm atmosphere to any Danish or wood related interior. Great condition so can be used right away. Don’t hesitate to get in contact for a quote.

 

During the fifties many Dutch furniture companies followed the success of Webe and started producing comparable teak furniture and wall mounted systems, also using prefab materials for the production, but only Webe offered a very large number additional parts that could be choose from at the time. The company’s name Webe is an abbreviation of the founders’ names Walraven and Bevers, who started the company in the late 1930ies.
