Tomado — Vintage wall shelf with 3 shelves in blue, red & yellow

An iconic piece of Dutch functional design, this wall shelf takes inspiration from the storage systems conceived by Tomado from the late 1950s, which have become classics of European domestic design. Its graphic architecture combines a black metal structure with three shelves in blue, red, and yellow lacquered metal. The colourful composition adds a particularly decorative dimension to this storage system, which is both minimal, geometric, and functional. The combination of primary colours, typical of European design from this period, gives it a distinctly vintage presence.
