Like little protrusions in nature, Corniches by Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec are informal and flexible shelves.

Corniches arose from the need for small storage spaces to spontaneously keep items. “The same way that we hang our belongings on a rock jutting from a cliff before diving into the sea, we need small, informal storage in everyday life too”, explains Ronan Bouroullec. And this is the reason that Corniches are neither regular shelves nor simple horizontal surfaces, but rather individual, isolated protrusions in the environments that we create. Whether as a key rack beside the front door, a spot to put everything we need to have at our fingertips in the bathroom, as a pedestal for a small collection of objects or as a large installation, Corniches are a new way to use the wall in the living space.

Corniches are available in glossy white, black, Japanese red, dark gray, khaki green, and orange.
