MLIAS

Your life is constantly changing, now your shelves can too.

Today in our urban domicile, we are confronted with the need to do more with less. Efficiency and customizable objects become desirable and individualization of our private domain is a statement of who we are.

MLIAS is a shelving system that can be easily adjusted in depth and height.

Modifications in depth and height require no tools or moving parts. Single shelves can be changed and re-changed and changed again as easy as opening and closing a drawer.

 MLIAS features:


- high quality Finnish birch plywood

- coatings with opaque laminates, translucent phenolic film or translucent stain and heat treated for a glossy finish

- taint and odor free panel suitable for food products

- smooth surface easy to keep clean

Inspired by Rudolf Schindler’s Tilt-Slab-Concrete walls from the Kings Road House.
