Staples Ladderax Modular Shelving Unit

£575.00

This Staples Ladderax modular shelving unit is a true mid-century design icon, prized for its clean lines, flexibility, and architectural presence. Comprising three black-painted ladder frames and fourteen teak shelves, the system offers generous storage while maintaining a light, open feel. The shallow depth makes it particularly well suited to living rooms, studies, or home offices where visual impact is desired without overwhelming the space.

Originally designed by Robert Heal for Staples in the 1960s, Ladderax revolutionised domestic storage by introducing a modular, wall-leaning system that could be endlessly reconfigured. Its clever ladder supports — complete with skirting board cutaways — allowed the unit to sit flush against walls without fixings, making it both practical and forward-thinking. Today, Ladderax remains one of the most recognisable and collectable pieces of British mid-century furniture.
