Duo shelf in ash and black steel Link - Studio Hausen

It was poetically in the former ballroom of a Berlin factory that this shelf was conceived, and it is in a true "made in Berlin" spirit that it was produced nearby. Ash wood and solid steel come together in this pared-back design, where the simplicity of the materials matters just as much as the purity of the lines. Four storage levels find their place here through a clever exercise in asymmetry. Linked by metal cables, they form a striking whole that seems almost suspended, ready to hold books and objects as you please. An intelligently conceived system, it is remarkably simple to assemble, and several modules can be joined together by means of the largest shelf for a decidedly design-led result.

Handcrafted in ash - carefully selected and sourced from sustainably managed forests -, it is enriched by its own individual grain, and this variation is an integral part of its design. The wood has undergone no chemical treatment such as formaldehyde or other harmful substances, and the surface has been treated using natural oils alone. A natural patina will gradually enhance it. Its designer, Jörg Höltje, believes in the longevity of objects: it is with this commitment to quality and durability in mind that he created Setup2, along with the other models that make up the elegant Link range.
