Truly versatile pieces of furniture, British maker, Staples, made modular Ladderax storage systems, incorporating shelves, desks, bookcases, corner units, drawers and more. These different elements can be configured in whatever way suits. This two-bay shelving system that dates from the late 1960s is in very good order and it’s a rare find too as it includes the freestanding angled bay. It makes this a particularly versatile unit as it can either tuck into a corner or can be used as a open-sided room divider. This makes it ideal for zoning open plan rooms, segregating the space. This system incorporates two sliding door cabinets and two shallow shelves on one bay and four large angled shelves on the corner. The corner can of course go at either side, and these large, expansive shelves would be work well for a turntable or other media. This piece of classic, much sought after midcentury furniture would work in any room in the modern home from lounge to bedroom to kitchen, creating a high-impact, statement feature. We often find that the component parts of original Ladderax systems are bashed and knocked with use but this particular set is in great, vintage order with light wear and tear.
