A little history of the shelf
Long before being the sleek piece of furniture we know today, the shelf was just a simple raw wooden board fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within reach. It earned its stripes in the 18th century under the name "gradin," finding its way into living rooms to display precious book 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 frees up floor space while dressing up walls. Today, it no longer serves merely to store, but to stage our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living picture that breathes and lets light circulate.
