Dutch Modernist Stick Bookshelf

Willem Lutjens Style / Gouda den Boer Style / Netherlands

This freestanding Dutch shelving unit is crafted entirely from wood, with paired round pole supports, four plank shelves, and an open structure characteristic of postwar Dutch craft-modernism. The extended poles above the top shelf create its distinctive silhouette, and the design shows the influence of Willem Lutjens. It retains its original finish and shows age-appropriate wear, including slight bowing to the bottom shelf and some wobbliness; wall attachment with an L bracket is recommended.
