PROTOPIA shelving

PROTOPIA is an elegant shelf and rack design with a hidden mounting system. It can be used in any room, as a coat rack in the entrance, a spice shelf in the kitchen, decorative shelves in the living room, or replace a side table.

With a delicately bent veneer front the PROTOPIA shelf is a piece of art in itself.

Its minimalist yet refined look combined with different sizes and a rack option with hooks underneath, makes it our most versatile furniture to date.

This is one of the most popular designs created in 2024
