A brief history of the shelf
Long before becoming the sleek piece of 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 prominence in the 18th century under the name "gradin," appearing in living rooms to display precious book bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure, without doors or side panels, makes it the lightest piece of furniture in the home, a feat of minimalism that frees up floor space while dressing the walls. Today, it no longer serves only to store, but to showcase our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living picture that breathes and lets light circulate.
