Form & Refine Taper Shelves

The Taper Shelves by Form & Refine are elegant, wall-mounted shelving units that combine a delicate look with practical functionality. With their shallow depth and refined details, they provide versatile storage and display space in the kitchen, bathroom, hallway, office, or living room.

What makes the Taper Shelves special?

• Refined design: A gently rounded front edge softens the raw steel and adds a tactile finish.

• Stable and functional: Angle brackets on the back ensure strength while keeping the open, airy expression.

• Shallow depth: Compact enough for narrow spaces, yet spacious enough to store or display everyday items.

• Versatile use: Perfect for displaying decorative objects or holding essentials in any room.

Designer’s perspective

“The design of the steel shelf unit began with the bent corners, which were intended both to frame the shelves, like a closed case, and act as the structure of the unit. The bent edges of the individual components soften the visual appearance of the hard steel and make it possible to minimize the thickness of the elements.”
