Pierre Paulin designed this shelving unit in 1972 for the loft apartment in the rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine in which he was living at the time. Minimalist in design, it marries the black or white lacquer of its steel wire structure (Ø 10 mm) with shelves in 8 mm thick birch mul- ti-ply finished in black or white laminate with wood edging. Construc- ted around 70 cm wide modules, two or more units may be juxtaposed with the addition of linking-pieces which transform them into com- plete modules (structure + shelves). Certain shelves are notched to accommodate the vertical uprights of the structure. The shelves rest on small steel wire supports soldered onto the uprights. Unit may be levelled as necessary using its adjustable jack feet. Internal dimensions of each section : H 38 W 33.3 D 33.
