Or something similar?
Looks like a fun project. New ones are pretty expensive.

That one is teak. I believe the real ones used a slanted peg system allowing the pieces to get rearranged. Simple Danish designs but accurate beautiful simplicity is not necessarily easy. That one relies on custom brass hardware to support the shelving it appears
It’d be a fun project but you’re better off watching Gallery Auctions out of Houston. They frequently have Danish versions for a reasonable price. Plus if you ever got tired of it, good chance you could sell it for what you paid if not a profit.

The Danish furniture and joinery is the art of the subtle flex

Looks like the back corner of the shelves have a pin... possibly spring loaded and the brass wire/rod attaches in the front corner w/an elbow bend at the top for anchoring in pilot holes.
Very nice detail.

A few examples of sold auction lots in Houston.

Thanks for that tip. Was looking into that earlier.
Do you actively check them out? If you come across something good please holler at me!
