Florian Asche MATE shelf e15

The Mate shelf, designed by Florian Asche for e15, is a stun­ning fusion of crafts­man­ship and func­tion­al­ity. Featur­ing six solid wood shelves joined to verti­cal planks with classic dove­tail joinery, it high­lights the elegance of tradi­tional wood­work­ing tech­niques. Despite its seem­ingly gravity-defying design, the Mate shelf ensures stabil­ity with a discreet inset eyelet on the back, allow­ing for secure wall mount­ing. This thought­ful detail not only enhances its struc­tural integrity but also adds a refined touch to its mini­mal­ist aesthetic. Ideal for show­cas­ing books or trea­sured objects, the Mate shelf is perfect for small spaces where style and prac­ti­cal­ity are essen­tial. A testa­ment to e15’s commit­ment to time­less design, the Mate shelf effort­lessly elevates any inte­rior with its sophis­ti­cated simplic­ity. Mate shelf in solid oak oiled avail­able quick ship.
