Modular shelf Le Belge

contemporaryoak

This cabinet system is based on the elasticity of wood. The flexibility of solid oak in combination with wing screws allows for easy construction of the cabinet. The poles are inserted into specially designed slots in the boards and then securely clamped to the boards by the wing screws. This makes the cabinet expandable, adaptable, flat-packable, easy to assemble and adjust without the use of tools! This system consists of separate poles in four lengths and shelves with wing screws in various colours. This way you can compose your own cabinet. Of course we have a number of example configurations! Le Belge System was designed by German/Colombian designer Reinhard Dienes, who has his own (interior) design studio in Bogota, Colombia. In his Design , he likes to strive for longevity of a product by using modular systems and flexibility. This is also the case with Le Belge System: you can divide this cabinet up completely yourself and always adapt it, expand it, make it bigger, smaller, etc. Le Belge System is also characteristic of Reinhard's 'desire for' Design to be simple and functional. Le Belge System has been part of the Vij5 collection since 2011. We met Reinhard when we exhibited with him at the same time at a trade fair in Frankfurt. Le Belge System is made of PEFC certified solid oak, by our local wood processor in the Netherlands. It is then treated in our workshop with Osmo hard-wax oil or coloured linseed oil. In the material passport you can find where and by whom the different parts of this product are made.
