Alva

Design by Rainer Mutsch

Alva (2020) shelving comprises slender strips of wood held securely in place by the shelves they suspend to create a construction that is as strong and stable as it is stunning to behold. The design takes the material to its limits by utilising the torsional strength of wood to create a structure of high rigidity. Alva is light and airy in appearance, but it is extremely sturdy too. Alva makes an ideal room divider, but it can also be used as shelving beside a sofa or armchair, while the round shelf provides a smart solution for corner storage.

The wood is oak or ash, finished with standard stains on ash, or white glaze on oak and ash. Alternatively, you can combine finishes and choose wooden frames in a standard stain on ash and shelves in oak or ash. The shelving is supplied assembled, with adjustment screws on the base. Shelves and wooden frames are detachable
