Trying to identify what I believe are shelves. They appear to be bent aluminum with a teak veneer. They each lock together with pegs and clasps. They do not makes sense as a single unit and therefor I would assume they are part of a modular system.
The closest I have been able to find is this from catawiki. Though the seller did not know the producer either.
Any thoughts?
Cinal collection shelves by Morten Brorsen for Danish maker Gubi. Some sites attribute Cinal to Chris Ferebee who designed the Hive collection, which has a similar combination of bent aluminum and wood veneers.

I was unfamiliar with Chris Ferebee as well. He's an American designer now based in Virginia. Seems to be best known for his "Hive" shelving unit designed in 1999. According to auction notes, the original version pictured here, developed by his NY company Five Twenty One Design was supposed to be produced by Gubi but didn't happen for some reason. Some of the prototypes (reportedly there were 10) have been sold at auctions by Wright and LA Modern.
A later version called the Hive H2 was produced in 2002-3.
So, I was the victim of misattribution on a couple of sites and have now updated my previous posts. The Cinal collection was actually designed by Morten Brorsen. I thought it was odd that Chris Ferebee did not include the Cinal pieces on his very well done website.
Here's a shot of how your shelves look hung on a wall. One retailer mentioned they came in oak, walnut or black.
Cinal was actually a separate company founded by Morten Brorsen, who had patented a special metal bending and veneering technique. Gubi acquired it in 2004 and produced the collection using the Cinal name.
