Sourced second-hand, it fits well on a wall on its own or can be paired with a rattan mirror or a few ceramics placed alongside it. Its format easily slips into a small space while offering open and decorative storage. As a second-hand item, it carries the memory of its past: a few traces of time.

It gained its nobility in the 18th century under the name of "gradin," making its way into salons to display precious bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure without doors or side walls 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 is no longer just for storage, but for showcasing our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and allows light to circulate.
