A brief history of the shelf
Long before becoming the sleek furniture we know today, the shelf was merely a simple plank of raw wood fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within reach. It gained its prestige 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, makes it the lightest piece of furniture in the house, a minimalist feat that frees up floor space while adorning walls. Today, it no longer serves merely for storage but for staging our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and allows light to circulate.
