Superstructure
Radically constructive, thoroughly reimagined.
The modular Superstructure shelving system celebrates the contrast between raw steel, oak wood and shelves made of fibre cement, which looks like concrete. The unusual material plays a central role in this design by Martin Bereuter and Klemens Grund.
Three types of shelf lengths allow you to adapt the system to suit various spaces and needs. It can also be supplemented with closed cupboard elements. The Superstructure shelving system was honoured with a commendation at the 2018 Handwerk+Form competition.
