Vitra - Corniches medium shelf 

Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec can serve as a practical shelf or decorative wall installation. In individual elements, they can be used as a keychain next to the front door, as a base for having everything at hand in the bathroom or as a pedestal for a small collection of objects. Corniches is made of high quality plastic in a variety of shapes, sizes and colors.
The Corniches elements have been created to meet the need for small spaces to store various objects. "Just as we place our things on a cliff before we dive into the sea, we also need a little informal space in everyday life to store our items," explains Ronan Bouroullec. That is why the Corniches elements are neither common shelves, nor simple horizontal surfaces, but rather individual protrusions isolated in the environment that we create. As a shelf for keys next to the entrance door, as a space to place everything that needs to be handy in the bathroom, as a shelf for a small collection of objects or as a large installation, Corniches shelves are a new way to use the walls of our homes. They are made of high quality synthetic material in different shapes, sizes and colors.

Vitra

By combining the technical and conceptual experience with the creativity of contemporary designers, Vitra continues to push boundaries and question the status quo. Vitra’s origins as a design company lie in the casual discovery of a chair by Charles and Ray Eames in a New York showcase.

The spirit of innovation expressed by the creations of the couple represents a movement - modern design - and still continues to be the driving force behind the development, production and sale of furniture and accessories for people around the world, for life, work and public use.

The founder of Vitra, Willi Fehlbaum, first came across the creations of Ray and Charles Eames in the early 1950s. This decisive moment marked the beginnings of Vitra as a design company. Vitra has since collaborated with international designers and architects. While the first generation laid the commercial foundations of the company and the second added a cultural dimension through the development of the Vitra Campus and the Vitra Design Museum with its collection, The third generation focuses on sustainable thinking and action.
