Since the very beginning in 2011, design duo Muller Van Severen focuses on the simplification of furniture we use in our homes daily. After designing highly stylized closets, tables, chairs, lamps and others, they now tackle the most elementary of design objects: the shelf. 

Shelf n°1/2/3/4 by Valerie Objects consists of four pieces with varying lengths between 75 centimeters and two meters. As expected, Muller Van Severen takes the shelf back to its bare essence: a simple and clean board. The Shelf consists solely of one steel plate and nothing more. You can take this very literally. Even the brackets are laser-cut flaps on the edge of the plate itself, folded upward and downward. In this way, the shelf can be secured against a wall without any extra parts needed.
