Artek - 112B Shelf

The Finnish designer and architect Alvar Aalto designed the 112B wall shelf in 1936. The company Artek still produces it today according to the classic designs.

The shelf board of 112B has the same depth as the brackets. The combination of the individual parts provides the shelf’s compact appearance.

The brackets for the wall shelf are made of birch wood and the tray from birch veneer. The shelf is varnished and is available in black and white editions.

Characteristic of the design of the 112B wall shelf are the rounded, triangular brackets that lie directly on the shelf board. Alvar Aalto also used this shape with the brackets for his 109 wardrobe and 115 umbrella stand.Curved shapes of individual parts such as the brackets of the 112A wall shelf or table and chair legs are often found in the work of Alvar Aalto and are considered one of his trademarks.Manufacturer Artek recommends a damp cloth for cleaning his wooden products. If necessary, soapy water can also be used.The product should be rubbed dry well at the end with a dry cloth.
