Length: 35 cm Width: 30 cm Height: 70 cm Niche height: 22 cm A brief history of the shelf Long before it became the sleek piece of furniture we know today, the shelf was merely a simple plank of raw wood attached in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within reach. It gained its recognition in the 18th century under the name "gradin," making its way into salons to display precious bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure without doors or side panels makes it the lightest piece of furniture in the home, a feat of minimalism that frees up floor space while dressing the walls. Today, it serves not only for storage but also for staging our everyday life, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and allows light to circulate.
