MŪ16181 Shelving
Constructed of a mild steel structure and thin powder-coated shelves, all iterations of the MŪ16181 shelving range are assembled using machine screws. The recessed structure directs attention to the slim shelves and vertical partitions, creating the illusion of gently floating planes that frame a collection of books and objects. The shelving system appears to hover above the floor with the use of adjustable engineered stainless steel glides affixed to the vertical support structure.
Designer: Chris van Niekerk
Year of design: 2021–2022
The shelving system is shown in powder-coated steel with stainless steel glides and a Dekton Sirius top.

Important
Because of the low positioning and unrounded edges of the shelves, we recommend against placing this product in children’s rooms or other domestic areas to which young children have constant and open access to.
The dimensions and finishes on our website reflect the preference of the designer. Please contact us via email to enquire about customising the shelving system.
The MŪ16181 is intended for indoor use only.
Manufacturing
The MŪ16181 shelving system pushes the boundaries of laser-cutting, waterjet-cutting, and machine-bending tolerances. Its structural components are meticulously sized to achieve visual lightness, yet once assembled, they collectively provide robust support for a fully stacked bookshelf.
Laser-cutting and waterjet-cutting processes are applied to various parts of the shelving, depending on the length and complexity of the profile. Once assembled, the loosely fitted L-shaped shelves securely lock into place without any mechanical fixing, ensuring the stability of the free-standing bookshelf structure. The shelving is then finished with a ferrograin coating.
Custom-designed stainless-steel glides elevate the structure from the floor, adding a touch of elegance to the design.
