Vintage Design
The Johannes Sorth teak bookcase, crafted in Denmark during the 1960s, exemplifies the elegance, minimal ornamentation, and functionality characteristic of mid-century modern Danish design. This beautifully designed piece features four shelves, three of which are adjustable, providing flexible storage options. The fixed middle shelf adds structural integrity and balance to the bookcase’s overall design.
Resting on a minimalist, finely carved base, the bookcase’s legs are slightly tapered, a hallmark of Danish design from this period. Reflecting Sorth’s exploration of innovative forms and structures, this bookcase features a subtle variation in shape, being slightly narrower at the top and gradually expanding towards the bottom. This tapered construction adds visual interest and gives it a lighter, more airy presence without compromising stability.
Crafted from high-quality, rich teak wood, the bookcase showcases an exquisite wood grain that adds warmth and a natural aesthetic to any interior space.
Despite the passage of almost six decades, this piece is perfectly preserved. The renovation process was minimal, involving throughout cleaning and refreshing the wood with Danish oil to enhance its natural beauty. It is a truly timeless and versatile design.
Additional dimensions:
Depth of the shelves from the top: 23 cm, 23 cm, 24 cm (fixed shelf), 26 cm
Height from the ground: 19 cm
