A brief history of the shelf
Long before becoming the sleek piece of furniture we know today, the shelf was merely a simple raw wooden board fixed in kitchens or workshops to keep tools within easy reach. It gained its nobility 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 house, a minimalist feat that frees up floor space while dressing the walls. Today, it is no longer used only for storage, but to showcase our daily lives, transforming a utilitarian surface into a true living picture that breathes and lets light circulate.
