Wall shelves Vitra: CORNICHES

Corniches arose from the need for small storage spaces to spontaneously keep items. “The same way that we hang our belongings on a rock jutting from a cliffbefore diving into the sea, we need small, informal storage in everyday life too”,explains Ronan Bouroullec. And this is the reason that Corniches are neither regularshelves nor simple horizontal surfaces, but rather individual, isolated protrusions in the environments that we create. Whether as a key rack beside the front door, a spotto put everything we need to have at our finger tips in the bathroom, as a pedestal for a small collection of objects or as a large installation, Corniches are a new wayto use the wall in the living space.The French brothers’ design research continuously evolves around flexibility andlightness; Corniches illustrates the idea of creating an impromptu storage area. TheCorniches will be available in various shapes, sizes and colours made of high qualityplastic.
