A short history of the shelf
Long before becoming the sleek piece of furniture we know today, the shelf was merely a simple board of raw wood fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools close at hand. It gained status in the 18th century under the name "gradin," appearing in salons to display precious bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure, devoid of doors or side walls, makes it the lightest piece of furniture in the home—a feat of minimalism that clears floor space while dressing up the walls. Today, it is no longer used just for storage, but for staging our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and allows light to circulate.
