  • Do you mean actual string or is that a brand?

    Ours aren't actually Ladderax, but Ladderax style ones made by Brianco in the early 70s which are a little less heavy visually. Just like these (but these aren't actually ours):

  • @Fahrgestell knows what's up with the string. It's either string (judging by the cabinet) or very similar in your pic too.

    I would have gone for vitsoe 606 here but it's the tiniest smidge too wide for intended area :(

  • Tom, yours looks really good! Esp the matchy sides! I think you've done a phenomenal job!

  • more pics? looks awesome! Whats the orange thing?

  • Our shelving is definitely Brianco because it came with the original brochure and 1975 price list! They used to have a showroom on Hackney Road in the '50s but later had one on Norton Folgate in the City. The furniture was made in Essex somewhere - Colchester I think.

    We bought it from a guy in Welwyn Garden City who loved ladderax and similar furniture but didn't have the space to keep it (and had a small child so didn't think it was practical). So he was buying them, restoring them and playing with them a bit then selling them on. I felt a bit sorry for him because he never really got to enjoy them properly.

    Your string looks great @6pt - almost like a photoshoot - but I would expect nothing less from a graphic designer ;)
