12 Shelves We’d Put in Any Office
The best thing about modern shelving is the fact that it is typically able to effortlessly slip into almost any space. The simplicity of these designs allows them to enhance and elevate the entire room without overwhelming the aesthetics or interrupting the flow of your day.
Branch-1 Entryway Unit
Gus* Modern’s Branch modular shelving series is elegant, clever, and highly functional. Featuring a series of shelves, hooks, trays, and even a mirror, this entryway shelving unit is perfect for the person on the go. Hang up coats, hats, extra ironed shirts, and bags while also keeping your keys and wallet close. And when you’re ready to head out for that important meeting, check your fit in the mirror before rushing out. This wall-mounted shelf is great for private offices.
Surf Shelf - Set of 2
Sleek and visually interesting, the Surf Shelf is a small wall shelf perfect for keeping books and décor arranged just the way you like it. Powder-coated steel is cut into wave-inspired lines that flow across your walls and double as a short wall to keep items from rolling off. Arranged these shelves in groups of two to six to maximize your storage space and pick things up off the floor.
Leaf Shelf 2x2
Solid European oak is shaped in to organic charm using hidden joinery. Distinctly Scandinavian in its presence, the Leaf Shelf is available in a variety of sizes and arrangements to offer plenty of options that suit a variety of office types. We love the 2x2 Leaf Shelf because it’s low, allowing for plenty of wall art above while still providing ample shelving space for file boxes, books, décor, plants, and more.
Sector Shelf - Triple – Wide
The architecturally inspired and beautifully modern Sector Shelf is a wall-mounted design that saves valuable floor space while functioning as an impressive tall wall shelf. Perfect for creating dynamic vertical storage, the Sector Shelf also showcases brass supports and hardware to give the entire construction a warm glow and graceful presence.
Stack Wall Shelf
We love the Stack Wall Shelf because it is a minimalist dream. A simple box with complementing oiled oak and walnut, this shelf can be used by itself or in groupings to create a bookshelf alternative. The shelves are aligned using small dowels that connect the walnut wood pieces on the back of the shelves. Create a unique atmosphere by displaying your favorite objects on this Danish designed shelf from Kristina Dam Studio.
Skagerak Planner™ Shelving
Designer Paul McCobb's vision of combining form and function, embodying the principles of Scandinavian design, and infusing understated elegance comes to life in the Skagerak Planner Shelving. Effortlessly minimalist, these shelves epitomize modern shelving, setting the tone for the whole office. The metal and wood pairing achieves a touch of Scandinavian design's graphic simplicity that goes well with industrial offices.
Pagoda 140:5
A little bit retro in its expressions, the Pagoda 140:5 shelf features five rounded shelves and a powder-coated metal frame that create a weightless shelf with modern functionality. This series of shelves is a just a little bit different than the average wall shelf, making it a perfect addition to modern work areas.
LAX 3X Wall Mounted Shelf
When you just don’t want to go the bookshelf route, the LAX 3X Wall Mounted Shelf is perfect. Mount it behind your desk or across the room and use it like a credenza, decorating both the top and hiding away items in the side cabinets. Available in white or black, this wall shelf is wonderfully modern and streamlined.
Tray Shelf – Low
The Tray Shelf is fantastically versatile and looks like an office must-have. Move the top tray to whichever side makes sense, top it off with a table light, and arrange books, boxes, and other items to keep your space organized and beautified. We love the simplicity and the way the Tray Shelf can easily work in any space; if you don’t love it in your office, move it to the living room.
Kona Bookcase - 3x6
The Kona Bookcase works so well in both purely Scandinavian as well as Japandi living and working spaces. Featuring 18 cubbies, and shelves that expand beyond the edges, you’ll find plenty of space for knickknacks, books, and décor while also enjoying the backless shelf design that creates openness.
