X2 Bays of Mid Century Ladderax Modular Shelving Unit

Two bays of Ladderax modular shelving & storage designed by Robert Heal in 1964 for Staples of Cricklewood, London.

– Excellent restored condition

The Ladderax System consists of a number of upright ladders, supporting shelves and cabinets. These are fixed by resting on steel support rods, hooked on to the rungs of the ladders. They fit into grooves under the shelves and cabinets. This allows easily assembly and flexibility. Ladderax does not require any permanent fixing to a wall because it self-supports. If preferred this system can be fixed to the wall as the steel uprights have holes in place.

This sale is for two bays. We have also shown a photograph of three bays set up as we have another single bay listed which if purchased could be configured as shown in the last photograph.

This system consists of:
X1 Three drawer base unit
X1 Sliding wooden door cabinet (with glass shelf)
X1 Glazed display cabinet (with glass shelf)
X1 Bureau cabinet (with glass shelf)
X1 Standard Shelf
X2 Short shelves (one narrow depth)
X3 Black metal ladders
X6 Long metal hook supports rods
X8 Short metal hook supports rods
X6 Hoop fixings

There is no key present but the bureau unit has been fitted with a push click mechanism.

This is a real piece of mid-century modern design at its very best with clear influence from the 'Danish School' of design.
