Ash and black steel shelf setup 2 Link - Studio Hausen

It was poetically in the former ballroom of a Berlin factory that this Setup2 shelf was conceived, and it is in a "made in Berlin" spirit that it was produced nearby. Ash wood and solid steel come together in this model with its pared-back design, where the simplicity of the materials is every bit as important as the purity of the lines. Four levels of storage find their place here through a clever exercise in asymmetry. Linked by metal cables, they form a striking whole, as though suspended, ready to welcome books and objects as the mood takes you. An intelligently designed system, it is remarkably simple to assemble, and several modules can be joined together by way of the largest shelf for a truly design-led result.

Handcrafted in ash - carefully selected and sourced from sustainably managed forests - it is enriched by its own distinctive grain, this variation being 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 solely with natural oils. A natural patina will gradually enhance it. Its designer, Jörg Höltje, believes in the longevity of objects: it is in this pursuit of quality and durability that he conceived Setup2, along with the other models that make up the elegant Link range.
