Wall Shelf 112B - birch

Wall Shelf 112 employs lamella loops as brackets to support a substantial birch veneer panel.

The particular lamella loops used in the creation of Wall Shelf 112 require the strength of

two people to bend them into shape and come with a single seam.

The brackets can be placed both below and above the panel, in which case they also serve as bookends.

Elegant and practical, this wall shelf displays designer Alvar Aalto’s affinity with natural materials.

Artek was founded in Helsinki in 1935 by four young idealists: Alvar and Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen,

and Nils-Gustav Hahl. Their goal was “to sell furniture and to promote a modern culture of living

by exhibitions and other educational means.”

In keeping with the radical spirit of its founders, Artek today remains an innovative player in the world of modern design,

developing new products at the intersection of design, architecture, and art.

The Artek collection consists of furniture, lighting,

and accessories designed by Finnish masters and leading international designers.

It stands for clarity, functionality, and poetic simplicity.
