Shelf Library Canvas Cabinet Section

Rail-mounted shelving systems were initially popularized by Scandinavian cabinet makers in the early 1930s. Soon after, many architects and designers released their own takes that would become fixtures of the mid-century modern movement. Kim Richardt’s Shelf Library System is a refined interpretation of this tradition with its own design language, an infinitely modular system that lends itself to any space.

The 'Canvas Cabinet Section' is a 1-bay tall configuration with 2 rails, 3 shelves, and 1 canvas cabinet. Drawing on the Japanese noren, the cabinet’s heavy cotton canvas door and decorative panel can be draped open or closed.

Each shelf supports up to 33 lbs and the cabinet up to 55 lbs, depending on wall material and mounting hardware. The system ships ready to mount and is fully reconfigurable — shelves can be repositioned at any time, and the section can be extended with matching add-ons as your needs change.

Also available for custom configuration.
