A brief history of the shelving unit
Long before becoming the sleek piece of furniture we know today, the shelving unit was merely a simple raw wooden board fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within easy reach. It gained its status in the 18th century under the name of "gradin," entering 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 home, a minimalist feat that frees up floor space while dressing the walls. Today, it is no longer used just for storage, but to showcase our everyday lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living picture that breathes and lets light circulate.
