Ingenious and light. The SLIDE shelving system that is made from 2mm thick sheet steel can be used almost everywhere. The metal is folded to make U-shaped elements that can be slid together very simply and do not require any kind of connecting piece. As it is mounted on castors, the unit can be moved around easily. The light grey powder coating makes the aesthetic impression perfect.

A new shelving system consisting of 2mm thick steel sheet with a minimalist aesthetic. Using laser cutting technology the metal is precisely cut to shape and folded to make U-shaped elements. An ingenious system of slits allows the pieces to be simply slid together – no means of connection is needed. As it is mounted on castors the shelving unit can be moved easily and is suitable for both domestic use and the office. For transportation purposes the elements are placed inside each other to reduce package size. The finish is a light grey powder coating.
