606 Universal Shelving System

"At the core of the shelving system is the E-Track that can be attached directly to the wall. Shelves, cabinets and tables are hung from the E-Track by slipping the aluminium pins into place.
Shelves have a second hole so that they may be hung either way up.
If no wall is available, or it is uneven, the E-Track may be attached to the X-Post. The system can then stand on the floor and avoid obstructions allowing it to be installed in many places.
You can easily rearrange your system whenever needed."

"“Design classic” and the adjective “designer” are over-used. But our shelving system is the work of Dieter Rams. He was head of design at Braun from 1961 to 1995 and many of his team’s products have found their way into the collections of the world’s finest museums.

Today he is often cited as the man who created a gentler world – a world to which many people now aspire. We are proud of him and his work – and we are delighted that many respected commentators regard our self-effacing shelving system as a design classic."
