Empilée

Vision

A modern storage solution that transforms everyday items into art.

Innovation

Modular, minimalist shelving combining cutting-edge materials and design.

Description

The Empilée shelving system is a revolutionary design rooted in the history of human storage practices, yet firmly grounded in modern aesthetics and functionality. The design responds to the monotonous and often uninspiring storage solutions commonly found in office environments. Empilée breaks away from this by offering a modular shelving solution that is as much a piece of art as it is a practical storage unit.
The structure is built around a minimalistic, highly stable framework consisting of a network of geometrically intricate struts. The outer frame, made from anodized magnesium alloy, ensures the system is lightweight yet remarkably strong, while also providing resistance to corrosion. The shelves themselves are crafted from high-gloss polished stainless steel, offering not only durability but also an elegant, reflective surface that elevates the presentation of stored items. This interplay of materials—magnesium’s matte sophistication and stainless steel’s gleaming finish—creates a striking contrast, adding a sense of modern luxury to the design.
The open design of the Empilée shelf allows for optimal visibility and airiness, providing a platform for showcasing items such as books, artifacts, or valuable trophies in a manner that enhances their significance. The modular nature of the system adds flexibility, with three varying heights available, all sharing the same base footprint. This ensures that Empilée adapts to different spatial needs while maintaining a consistent visual rhythm.
With its futuristic aesthetic and engineering precision, Empilée not only meets the functional demands of storage but also serves as a statement piece that transforms the way we perceive and interact with everyday objects in our environments.
