This charming. yet small, Mid-Century modern tabletop bookshelf combines functionality with sculptural elegance. Crafted from richly grained solid Imbuia wood, it features a unique silhouette with softly contoured side panels and angled, dowel-secured legs that lend it a playful yet purposeful stance. Its petite proportions make it perfect for use on desks, consoles, or as a standalone accent on a larger sideboard or bench. Also suitable as a side table with storage.
This piece likely dates to the 1950s–1960s, during the height of the Mid-Century modern movement, when organic curves and functional simplicity were key design values. While no maker’s mark is visible, the playful yet refined construction echoes Scandinavian and South African influences of the era.

The piece has been expertly restored and is in excellent vintage condition, showcasing the warmth and depth of the wood's natural tones.
