Description: This Mid-Century Modern pyramid bookcase by Merton Gershun for Dillingham, c.1960s, is a beautifully sculptural storage piece that feels architectural from every angle. Crafted in walnut with striking ebonized accents, the tapered “pyramid” profile gives it a bold silhouette while still keeping a clean, minimal footprint. The open shelving layout offers a dynamic way to display books, ceramics, and objects, with asymmetrical compartments that create visual rhythm and depth. Newly refinished, the walnut grain reads warm and rich, while the dark contrasting elements give the piece that classic mid-century graphic punch. Equal parts functional and statement-making, this bookcase works perfectly in a living room, office, or studio as a true design-forward display.
un Historical Fact In the 1950s and 1960s, designers began treating bookcases and shelving as “room architecture,” using bold silhouettes and open forms to divide space without closing it off. Merton Gershun was part of this shift, creating modern case pieces that felt sculptural while still being highly practical for everyday living. The “pyramid” profile reflects the era’s fascination with strong geometric forms—an influence that can be seen across mid-century furniture, architecture, and graphic design. Today, statement bookcases like this are especially collectible because they function as both storage and a true focal point in a room.
