The 'Utrecht' shelf was part of a commission by designer Martin Visser for Spectrum. The relationship between Constant and Visser goes back to at least 1948, when Visser, who at the time worked at department store De Bijenkorf, organised an exhibition with works by the artists of the Dutch Experimental Group (Nederlands Experimentele Group), the Dutch prelude to the CoBrA group.
Designed by Anton Rooskens and Constant commissioned by the Dutch Ballet (Het Nederlands Ballet) under Sonia Gaskell for the performance of The Process in 1955.
Donated to Fondation Constant by Simone Rooskens in 2012.
