If you want something out of the ordinary, something that is attractive yet simplistic in nature and practical then the Elysee Shelving if your choice when it comes to your storage solutions with a difference.

The Elysee Shelving designed by Pierre Paulin is unique as it is practical as it is a modular shelving system that is bent at the sides and made using maple plywood, natural or wengé. The shelving is named Elysee to relate and connect with the first project for shelving systems from the designer, which was conceptualized at the beginning for the residence of the French President François Mitterand in the Elysée Palace in Paris.

Pierre Paulin is a French designers of the mid-20th century. With French taste, but having a flair for mastering new materials in the manner of American designers such as Eames, Saarinen and Betoia, Paulin’s designs caught the attention of the people in the Thonet firm. It is only in 1956, that Paulin found the means and the support he needed to realize the production of his designs, after responding to Harry Wageman’s invitation to join Artifort.

Paulin’s style and concepts are pipelined in using inventive creations that are functional and contributing to the comforts of modern living. The Elysee Shelving is a statement that embodies these characteristics and brings out the essence of modern living.

Simplistic by nature, this shelving can be used in small living spaces as well as large living areas. Anything can be placed in its shelves from books to decorative items, vases and photographs and even turn it into a unique one-of-a-kind mini bar. The shelving is modernist that allows the discovery of comfort through modern living shown in a masterful sculpture and functionality. It has the essence of the Pop aesthetic signature that appeals to most modern urban young executives ready to take over the world.
