Description
Overview
Pab is a wall system designed by Studio Kairos in 2009. Its concept begins with a sheet folded in half and restrained by light ties, creating a shelf that can also serve as a top.

Story
Light appearance, engineered structure
B&B Italia says Pab begins with the shelf as its base element. Although the folded-sheet idea gives it a light appearance, the manufacturer attributes the system's robustness to its engineering and materials.
From shelf to storage system
The concept expands beyond shelves into traditional units for specific storage needs, along with multipurpose benches that may be fitted with drawers. A broad choice of finishes and elements supports personalised arrangements rather than one fixed composition.
