Two bays of Ladderax modular shelving & storage designed by Robert Heal in 1964 for Staples of Cricklewood, London.
– Excellent original condition
The Ladderax System consists of five wooden upright ladders (in the rare white, factory finish) supporting shelves and cabinets.
These are fixed by resting on steel support rods, hooked on to the rungs of the ladders. They fit into grooves under the shelves and cabinets. This allows easily assembly and flexibility. Ladderax does not require any permanent fixing to a wall because it self-supports.
This sale is for three bays. We have included five of the white ladders in this sale which enables the system to be configured as a two bay and single bay if desired.
This system consists of:
X1 Three drawer base unit
X1 Sliding wooden door cabinet (with glass shelf)
X2 Glazed display cabinets (with glass shelves)
X1 Drinks cabinet
X1 Bureau cabinet
X6 Standard shelves
X5 White wooden ladders - can be configured as a two bay and single bay if desired
X24 Long metal hook supports rods
X10 fixings
In Excellent original condition, it has been superbly looked after by its original owner. The white ladders do have various marks as to be expected but these are barely noticeable once the system is up and in place.
This is a real piece of mid-century modern design at its very best with clear influence from the 'Danish School' of design.

Our restoration process
Preparation
We carefully assess every piece, identifying any damage, repairs or replacement parts it may need. Drawers may need new runners, handles can be missing or damaged, and joints may require repair or reinforcement. We look beyond the surface to uncover hidden defects, ensuring each piece is restored to work as it was originally intended.
Restoration
With over 20 years of experience, we know that the right restoration techniques can make all the difference. It’s a delicate process that takes patience, skill and attention to detail — one we’ve taken the time to perfect. Each piece is carefully and sensitively restored, preserving its original character and charm while giving it a new lease of life.
Finishing
Finally, we add the finishing touches — whether that’s painting, oiling or sealing, fitting new handles, hinges or catches, or simply giving the piece a final clean and polish. We make sure every piece is ready for modern living, giving it a new lease of life and a renewed sense of purpose, ready to be loved for generations to come.
Before and after
Each piece is carefully and sympathetically restored to preserve the character, charm and beautiful details that make it unique. The result is a truly individual piece of furniture, thoughtfully restored for
modern living and ready to bring warmth, personality and timeless style to your home for years to come.
