Why We Like It
The concept of modular and flexible furniture emerged during the post-war period as a response to the new dwelling needs of modern families. The BM Shelving System is one of the most successful examples of this form.
Nowadays, the need for flexibility in interior design has not completely disappeared and it’s fair to say that we desire it more than ever before. The quality of the materials and attention to detail of Carl Hansen & Søn guarantees that this piece of furniture will be a lifelong purchase.
