Designed by Alvar Aalto in 1936, the 112B Wall Shelf is an excellent example of his work with curved wood. The shelf employs lamella loops as brackets to support a substantial birch veneer panel. The particular lamella loops used in the creation of Wall Shelf 112 require the strength of two people to bend them into shape and come with a single seam. The brackets can be placed both below and above the panel, in which case they also serve as bookends.
Elegant and practical, this wall shelf displays designer Alvar Aalto’s affinity with natural materials.
