Poeme 144 shelf, black oak

The Poeme shelf by the Finnish Poiat Studio boasts a charmingly minimalist, elegant design with influences from Japanese architecture and the forms of old Finnish tools made of wood. Poeme’s name stems from the French word poème, which translates to “poem” – there is indeed something poetic about the softly rounded form of the shelf’s horizontal and vertical wooden slats and the accuracy of their repetition.

Made in Finland of oak wood, the Poeme shelf is characterised by the material’s natural warmth and grain that makes each piece uniquely beautiful. The classic material and reduced design language allow the shelf to be used in a variety of private and public settings either as a bookshelf or a display for your most prized possessions from souvenirs to ceramic art.
