After designing highly stylised tables, chairs, and lamps, Muller Van Severen tackle the most elementary of design objects: the shelf.

Throughout this series, the brackets themselves become a feature of the piece, having been laser cut from the horizontal plane then simply folded upward or downward. With no other parts needed to secure it to the wall, the focus is drawn towards the shelf's sheer materiality, emphasised by a considered choice of five refined colours.

The uniform construction of the shelves mean that they can be grouped together in whatever composition you choose, but are equally striking used on their own. In keeping with Muller Van Severen's industrial influence, each shelf is made from a single sheet of steel.
