Freestanding, multi-functional units, such as this smart, 1970s, Danish piece by Feldballes Mobelfabrik, are really versatile as they negate the need for built-in shelves and provide plentiful storage and display space. Tall but shallow, this teak model features an open, upper bookcase where two of the three shelves are adjustable, and a lower, double door cupboard with a further shelf on one side, and a bank of three, perfectly crafted drawers on the other. It’s a two-part unit with the top section simply sitting on the base with discreet dowels mooring it in position. No tools required! Clean lines, midcentury simplicity, form and function are all here.
