a wall shelf made from a single folded sheet of anodized aluminum

RECTO

A shelf shaped by hand

RECTO reverses the industrial logic: here, the user becomes an active participant in the creation process. Born from a simple sheet of anodised aluminum, the shelf transforms through a few precise folds into an expandable modular library.

This "almost invisible line" combines lightness with robustness, supporting a substantial weight of up to 30 kg per module.

By combining them according to your creativity, you create a unique wall-mounted library where the aluminum recedes, allowing books to be displayed as works of art.

Organize, store, sort, display, arrange, show, classify, enhance... anything is possible.
