Karin and Nisse Strinning Wall System from the 1950s. Picked up somewhere on the Gold Coast.
These wall-mounted teak cabinets and shelves are extremely versatile allowing you to interchange the modules. I love how this one has the book rack and discrete drawers. It has the simple clean lines synonymous with Swedish design. That it is still in production today is a testament to its timelessness.
It has made me think that perhaps a wall-mounted unit rather than a standard sideboard could be an option for our sunroom. Number 3 son (who is now 18 months) is at an inconvenient height for his curious ways and a sideboard - thwarting him has become my current obsession. He'd be hard-pressed reaching this wall-mounted unit.
Food for thought.
I really like that. What a great find. I love the fact you are thinking storage too! I am always thinking of storage. Good luck in your search for the perfect wall mounted unit (and good luck with little people's hands - I have some of those too! Ha!).
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea. Wall mounted storage. It just doesn't occur to us as much as it would have if we were living in the 1950s. And those hands. I can relate to that. Like little sticky dirty jam covered octopuses. xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love the idea...the look has a certain lightness that a more traditional piece of furniture doesn't always have. It's so lovely and unobtrusive...and the fact that it's out of the reach of your little one is most certainly a plus!
ReplyDeleteJane and Katrina, those little hands are the bane of my life at the moment - glad you can relate.
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for stopping by Laura - that wall unit does fade into the background which is why I like it.
I can just hear that CD 'Music to Lounge With' playing in the background! Oh & Austin Powers about to enter from stage left. I love it!

I love these - Charles & Ray Eames would be oohing and ahhing (like me))
ReplyDeletelaurelstreet, I didn't pick you being a fan of this style, but I guess good design will always appeal to those with good taste!
