Report on this set by AI:
Tjerk Reijenga was the chief designer for the Dutch company Pilastro. His designs from the '60s are now considered important examples of Dutch Design and are loved by collectors of vintage furniture [11].
The dimensions you mention are exactly the "sweet spot" for collectors of this system. A width of 73 cm is the most sought-after standard size from Pilastro, as it combines perfectly with almost all other accessories from that era. Why this set is special
· Rare uniformity: It is unusual to find a set with as many as six identical reading shelves. This is often sold by enthusiasts as a "library wall" or "magazine wall," which can drive the price towards €650.
· Dimensions: Wall rails of 157 cm are relatively high, giving buyers the opportunity to place an impressive vertical element in their interior. · Color: Black is currently the most timeless and easiest-to-sell color for this system
