A brief history of the shelf
Long before it became 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 gained prestige in the 18th century under the name "gradin" (tier), finding its way into living rooms to display precious bindings or fine porcelain. Its structure, free 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 the walls. Today, it is no longer used just for storage, but for staging our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living tableau that breathes and lets light circulate.
