Overview
Sten Shelf 120 cm Travertine is a decorative shelf by Simon Legald for Normann Copenhagen, designed in 2024. A single stone slab rests on two rounded shelf brackets that are also made of stone.
Construction
The shelf is made of natural stone in the travertine variant, so each piece carries its own pattern. Mounting brackets in steel are included, and the fixtures are completely hidden once the shelf is mounted. It is delivered disassembled.
Specifications
120 x 18 x 13 cm (Sten Shelf 120 cm Travertine, 608364).
Story
Brackets as part of the design
Simon Legald wanted a single unit in which the brackets become part of the aesthetic experience instead of a purely practical, structural element. The result is a slab on two rounded stone brackets, unique in its simplicity.
Between sculpture and storage
Sten serves as an artistic element on the walls and as storage for books, vases or still life arrangements. Its name is the Danish word for stone, and the natural stone gives every shelf its own pattern.
