Shelfium, a revolutionary multifunctional furniture tool, offers endless possibilities for creative design and customization. Developed by designers Stanislav Meliš and Jozef Michalko, this innovative tool allows users to create a wide range of shelving units and custom furniture in unique designs, emphasizing recycling and upcycling.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Shelfium is a versatile tool that enables the creation of various shelving units and custom furniture, offering unparalleled flexibility and design freedom. Its unique strength lies in its ability to combine with any material, allowing for the incorporation of diverse elements such as drawers and more. Whether crafted from recycled materials or luxurious assemblies, Shelfium adapts to users' preferences, reflecting their personality and style.
The design process involved the use of CNC-milled solid oak treated with hard wax oil, resulting in a durable and visually striking product. The stainless steel bar elements, available in different lengths, are seamlessly combined to form the desired structure, while standard shelf parts are crafted from toughened glass, solid wood, or chipboard. Additionally, side parts can be made from materials like plexiglass, MDF, or PET felt, offering further customization options.
Shelfium's development, which began in 2021 and took approximately three years, was a collaborative effort in Bratislava, involving local suppliers. The designers' meticulous research and dedication to modularity, material efficiency, and an open system culminated in the creation of this innovative furniture tool.
Shelfium offers users the choice to purchase ready-made kits or individual parts, emphasizing recyclability and repairability. Alternatively, users can collaborate with local suppliers or utilize existing sources for a more personalized approach, aligning with the principles of sustainability and social responsibility.
Recognized for its exceptional design, Shelfium was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2024, a testament to its creative ingenuity and contribution to enhancing quality of life. With its roots in Slovakia, Shelfium embodies a vision of sustainable, customizable, and forward-thinking furniture design, setting a new standard for creative expression and environmental consciousness.
