Dutch 1950s wall unit by Kho Liang Ie for Fristo

Wall unit ‘module’ designed in 1956 by kho liang ie for the dutch furniture company fristho. Although the company logo says that the wall unit is designed by kho liang ie and wim crouwel, we know that the work of these designers was strictly separated. Between 1956 and 1960 liang ie and crouwel owned a design office together. Liang ie did all furniture designing, while crouwel did all graphic design. The wall unit is made of beech and dark grey painted wood and consists of shelves, a storage compartment and a secretary element. In good vintage condition with wear and tear corresponding with age and use, mainly on the door of the storage compartment. Please see the photo. Please note that this ‘module’ wall unit is extremely rare. There are none for sale or marked as ‘sold’ on the internet. Also, this item will be sold without the chair. H X w X d = 178 X 188 X 40 cm / 70.1 X 74 X 15.7 inch. The main material is beech veneer with painted wood. The overall condition is remarkable good considering it's age. Just one door with some scratches which probably can be solved with the right product.
