little Googling, et voila:
http://www.insecula.com/oeuvre/O0016503.html

It is not in production anymore
The reason is not clear. It is a well designed piece of furniture and shelving systems are att a high in sales. Maybe the fact that both Jean Prouvé's and Charlotte Perriand's successions want a piece of the royalties makes it too complicated

thanks koen for the info....
thanks koen for the info...... it is a shame that it
is not being made. i would be interested in owning one.
Who knows maybe we will see that Modernica has knocked one off under there California Case study line

Shelf good, chair better...
I like the book shelf a lot, but what is really terrific is that chair. Did she do the chair, too? I'm excited by it because I've been sketching chairs have been trying to come up with formed form two "L"s appended just like that but could never get past two stumbling blocks. First, I couldn't think of that incredibly elegant round attachment face pinning both "L"s together at the base of the back. Second, I couldn't stop myself from trying to make chair arms in an "L" shape and every time I did it compromised the elegance of the two "L"s she just went with. Talk about knowing when to leave something out! She's a sharp one.

glad to help out
glad to help with your chair design look up some of these great chair designs they will knock your socks off
or if not wearing socks this time of year you will drop your pencil ,
1) Gerrit Rietveld his Steltman chair that he made in 1964 just a great looking chair that you could make in advanced shop class but I think it is great
2) Sori Yanagi Butterfly stool made in 1954 great, simple , eloquent,
3) one of my favorites is Max Bills 1950 three legged chair
very much like charles Eames lcw/lcm only three legs ( i can see why it never made it people in the early 50's were not ready for three legged chairs.

La chaise a été conçue par l'ami de Charlotte, Pierre Jeanneret.

Jeanneret's Scissor chair...
also appears in Rouland's Knoll Furniture book on page 72.
From Phillips de Pury:
Along with his cousin Le Corbusier and Charlotte Perriand, Pierre Jeanneret was the unheralded third member of the design troika that produced the tubular steel iconic chairs of the 1920s. His most important design on his own is the marvelously understated, ingeniously constructed "Scissor" chair, which was first produced in France in the late 1940s before being manufactured by Knoll from 1948-1966.

on a similar note I heard something about Aalto no longer getting credit for his roll up screen....anyone know anything about this ?

?
Who is it being ascribed to now?

I'm not sure, I'd like to...
I'm not sure, I'd like to own the shelves and the chair! The chair would be good with a slight reduction in the dimensions of the timber and webbed like an Aalto.
The shelves and the chair are the sorts of pieces it would be good to see school students get a chance to do in wood and metal work classes.

These shelves are quite...
These shelves are quite unattractive but the idea has potential, I think.

I hadn't heard this about the Aalto screen - although similar screens were being made in France in the 30s (at least that's where I've always seen them).

I just did a couple of searches and Aalto is attributed in the examples I found, perhaps I was wrong or the copyright issue was cleared up. Korhonnen might have had some input, I suppose like Perriand and Prouve we'll never really know.
'Askman' also do a similar thing, it would be good to see them made in that recycled plastic material used for some park benches.
