Length: 63 cm Depth: 9.5 cm Height: 54 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 fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within reach. It gained its letters of nobility in the 18th century under the name "gradin," making its way into salons to showcase precious bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure without doors or side panels makes it the lightest piece of furniture in the house, a feat of minimalism that frees up floor space while dressing the walls. Today, it serves not only to store but also to stage our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and allows light to circulate.
