Designed by Robert Heritage for furniture maker, Beaver & Tapley Ltd in the 1960s as part of its ‘Multi-width’ range, this is a classic British midcentury pair, influenced by the Scandinavian aesthetic of the day. Comprised of a neat, sliding door cabinet and a large, wide, glazed bookcase, they are good-looking, practical home items, giving plentiful, slimline display and storage space. For all that they appear simple at first glance, there are thoughtful, elegant design details here to spot… the tapered legs, the bevelled shelves, the contoured border that frames the front edges. A fine midcentury couple that look great styled side by side, angled at a corner or perhaps nodding to one another across the room.
