Story
Shelves that support boxes
Kartell's text says Wisewise is based structurally on shelves supporting modular boxes, which can be used for a wide range of purposes.
A base for several furniture types
The page calls the system a mini-architectural concept that offers more than storage: a base from which to create bookcases, console tables and sofa service tables, with a modular design that adapts to any requirement.
