Lepid Wall shelf wood red / L 78 x H 55 cm

Lepid Wall Shelf: Where Lines Become Architecture

With Lepid, the wall shelf transforms into a true graphic composition. Its horizontal and vertical lines intersect with precision to create a play of solids and voids that brings the wall to life without weighing it down. The contrast between the colored surfaces and the edges highlights each section like a hand-drawn outline. Available in Burgundy, Ivory, and Mustard, with black edges depending on the version, this designer wall shelf measuring L 78 x H 55 cm makes a strong decorative statement while maintaining a modest depth of 32 cm.

A shelf conceived as a drawing in space

The Lepid collection explores the balance between geometric precision and free-flowing movement. Here, the edge becomes the true guiding thread of the design. It runs through the composition, frames the surfaces, and creates a continuous rhythm between the horizontal and vertical elements. This construction gives the shelf an almost pictorial quality, particularly evident when it is installed alone on a large wall.

Crafted from recycled wood fibre panels with a lacquered polyester finish, Lepid combines color and contrast to accentuate its design. The wood used is FSC-certified. Its assembly system, featuring recessed rails, contributes to the structure’s sturdiness while making installation easy.

Where should you install the Lepid wall shelf?

Lepid is particularly well-suited for a living room, entryway, desk, or bedroom, where it can serve both as storage and a decorative element. Its asymmetrical design allows it to add more character to a wall than a traditional linear shelf. It also works very well above a console table, a low cabinet, or in a reading nook.

What can you display on the Lepid shelf?

With its various horizontal and vertical surfaces, Lepid is ideal for displaying books, small decorative objects, vases, or collectibles. Its design allows you to create an evolving composition rather than a simple alignment of objects. The contrasting edges remain visible between the displayed items, helping to structure the overall look.

Is the Lepid shelf easy to assemble?

Yes. It comes unassembled with assembly instructions, and its assembly system relies on recessed rails designed to simplify installation while ensuring the structure’s sturdiness.

More than just a shelf, Lepid defines the wall like a line drawn in space. Combining storage, color, and geometry, it brings a graphic presence that’s enough to add rhythm to a room.
