Sfumato is a modular shelving system for living and office spaces. The outline of Sfumato recalls an urban skyline, wide and solid at the bottom, fragmented at the top, with a continuous horizontal base. Modules of different heights and depths are combined to create many configurations and sizes. The system can stand alone or be mounted on a wall. Open shelves display small objects, while closed doors conceal them. The body, shelves, partitions and front panels are made of MDF with a matt lacquer finish.
