Muuto Storage System: Modular Shelving With a Sculptural Edge

The Stacked Storage System Configuration 5 by Julien De Smedt for Muuto explores the balance between order and expression. With its thoughtful grid arrangement and asymmetric lines, this design-led storage system sits confidently between functionality and form. Compact yet characterful, it’s a flexible shelving piece ideal for house decor, creative storage or display. Crafted in PU lacquered MDF or oak veneer, it’s finished with a clean powder-coated steel podium for refined elevation.

Modern bookcase shelves with architectural rhythm

Configuration 5 embraces modularity in its purest form—designed to blend effortlessly into contemporary Australian homes or workspaces. Each shelf is intuitively spaced, offering open zones for display and structured compartments for books or objects. Its vertical stance and streamlined footprint (H148 x W131 x D35 cm) allow for styling in narrow or smaller areas without compromising on visual interest. The result is a sculptural bookcase that delivers on clarity, depth and quiet confidence.
