This modular wall unit was handcrafted in teak during the 1960s by Avalon Furniture in Somerset, England. Designed in the spirit of Scandinavian modernism, Avalon’s mid-century pieces were produced in-house to reflect the clean lines and functionality of the era.
We have configured this particular setup to present a balanced, straight-line composition by doubling the bays, allowing all modules to sit at the same level. However, the system is entirely flexible and can be reconfigured to suit your space and preferences.
Please note that bays cannot be shared at the same height — each metal upright (bay) supports only one module per level. This ensures structural integrity and preserves the original design principles.
The cabinets and shelves have been fully restored: carefully sanded and finished in oil, in keeping with the original treatment, preserving their authentic mid-century character and the warm tone of the teak.
One of the chests had previously sustained a small knock. This area has been carefully restored, and the mark has been blended as much as possible into the surrounding wood. Nevertheless, a faint trace remains — a small scar near the left corner of the chest — subtle, yet still visible upon close inspection.
The iron of the bays have been gently cleaned only. We chose not to repaint them black, as doing so would make the piece appear too new and detract from its honest, time-worn character. Should you prefer them refinished, this can be arranged for an additional £100.

Large pine bookcase

I came across these two large pine bookcases at an antique fair in the south of England, and I fell in love instantly. Their graceful proportions, generous dimensions, and the refined moulding along the top give these pieces a quiet authority and timeless charm.
At present, I have images of only one bookcase, as the second is currently in our restoration workshop and will be ready soon. Both share the same elegant design, though the second piece is slightly smaller in height and length, while maintaining the same width.
Each bookcase features five adjustable shelves, all beautifully handcrafted in pine, offering ample and flexible storage while celebrating the natural warmth and texture of the wood.
A fine example of traditional craftsmanship, these bookcases embody the enduring spirit of classic English design—functional, honest, and full of character.
