A little history of the shelf
Long before being the sleek piece of furniture we know, the shelf was just a simple raw wooden board fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within reach. It gained its nobility in the 18th century under the name of "gradin", inviting itself into living rooms to display 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 allows to free up floor space while dressing the walls. Today, it is no longer just used for storage, but to stage our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a real living painting that breathes and lets light circulate.
