Audo Copenhagen Gridy Fungi Shelf

The Audo Copenhagen Gridy Fungi Shelf takes inspiration from one of nature's more unexpected forms - those shelf fungi that grow horizontally out of tree trunks in the woods. Designer Gridy translated that organic shape into a wall-mounted shelf that brings a bit of the outdoors inside without looking like you're decorating with literal tree branches. The result is this curved, sculptural piece that reads as contemporary design while still referencing its natural inspiration. Available in three sizes - small at 21cm wide, medium at 30cm, and large at 42cm - each shelf cantilevers out from the wall with depths ranging from 11cm to 21cm, giving you actual usable surface space rather than just decorative ledges. The graduating sizes mean you can use one as a standalone accent or install multiples at different heights to create a more dynamic arrangement.

What makes these shelves work in real homes is how adaptable they are to different needs and spaces. Mount one beside your bed as a nightstand alternative where you can rest a book, phone, or glass of water without taking up floor space. Use them in the living room to display small plants, candles, or objects you actually want to look at rather than hiding in cabinets. Install one in the kitchen for colorful spices or oils that deserve to be seen, or add one to a kids' room as that extra shelf holding a backup nightlight or favorite toys. The organic form softens spaces in ways standard rectangular shelving never does - there's something about that curved edge that feels more intentional and less utilitarian. The construction handles daily use without being precious about it, so you're not constantly worried about bumping into delicate design. The wall-mounting system keeps things clean and minimal, letting the shelf appear to float rather than relying on visible brackets that break up the sculptural line.

Audo Copenhagen was created by uniting MENU and by Lassen, forming a brand that draws from a century of Danish design tradition while collaborating with contemporary designers and studios from around the world. They work with designers like Gridy who bring fresh perspectives to functional objects, translating natural forms and organic inspiration into pieces that work in modern interiors. Audo's philosophy centers on creating furniture and accessories with purposeful details and quality materials that enhance everyday living, ensuring their designs feel personal and considered rather than mass-produced. Their approach bridges Scandinavian simplicity with global creativity, resulting in pieces that bring character to spaces while remaining genuinely useful for how people actually live.
