Product description

This shelf unit combines natural solid oak wall brackets with the simple bent steel band that characterises the Kaari collection. The interplay between the glossy shelves and the steel band create a distinctive fluid silhouette, while the width offers generous room for storage and display.

Concept

The Kaari collection by Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec marks the ﬁrst collaboration between the French designers and Artek. In creating a simple yet elegant bent steel band to provide support for a series of furniture, the Paris-based brothers arrived at a practical and adaptable construction principle. In Finnish, Kaari means “arch,” and while the vertical load of table tops and shelves is held by a piece of wood, the bent steel band provides diagonal support similar to an arch.

With antecedents in Alvar Aalto’s work in bent wood, the metal band has a light, fluid outline. It could well have been drawn with a single stroke of a pen.
