A Brief History of the Shelf
Long before it became the minimalist furniture we know today, the shelf was merely a simple raw wooden plank fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within reach. It gained prominence in the 18th century under the name "gradin," making its way into living rooms to display precious bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure, without doors or side panels, made it the lightest piece of furniture in the house, a minimalist feat that freed up floor space while decorating walls. Today, it no longer just serves to store, but to stage our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and allows light to circulate.
