Modular Wall Unit

The sleek lines and rich walnut of this modular wall unit create a piece of furniture that’s purpose is fairly flexible. What I mean by that is that I can see this wall unit fitting in a variety of spaces, and none of them seem out of place. Add a series of drawer units along the bottom, and all of a sudden, this becomes the perfect focal point of a bedroom. Add in the desk unit and it becomes a great workstation for the office, or an entertainment center. Like the idea of built-ins, but want something more trim? Perfect.

Now, I’ll be one to tell you that mid-century isn’t my jam. For some reason, it reminds me of my elementary school’s principle’s office. Of course, I was never in there. But, I think designer, John Doyle, hit the perfect notes here and I love it. The subtle roundover on the front edge, the sleek brackets. And talk about that walnut.
