Description:

A refined vintage shelving/display unit by Laranda from the 1960s. This low, two-tier piece showcases the elegant simplicity and functional minimalism characteristic of mid-century design — clean horizontal planes of warm teak set against slender black metal supports. Its compact proportions make it perfect for:

• Entryways and hall tables
• Under windows or beneath art
• Stereo components or record storage
• Displaying ceramics, plants and sculptural objects

This piece works equally well as a standalone display shelf or paired with other shelving from the Laranda series for a layered look.

Design Notes:

Laranda shelving units are distinguished by their combination of solid timber shelving and simple vertical supports, offering a light, open aesthetic that suits both modern and classic interiors. You’ll find Laranda pieces in vintage dealer inventories and auction records, often alongside Scandinavian and Australian modernist shelving from the same era.

Why You’ll Love It:

• Warm, tactile teak grain with mid-century charm
• Versatile function from shelving to media stand
• Low-height scale perfect for smaller spaces
• A collectible piece with authentic mid-20th-century presence
