paul mccobb planner shelving mc520
Design Paul McCobb, 1949
Powder-coated steel, oak veneer
Made by Fritz Hansen
Planner Shelving fuses heritage with modernity, bringing new life to timeless designs with multifunctional appeal. Designed by the late Paul McCobb - a pioneer of contemporary democratic design whose creations filled homes across the world with lasting, quality design - Fritz Hansen's Planner Shelving series combines his signature graphic aesthetic with an elegant expression.
Named after its ability to help shape the design of a room, the simple yet striking shelving is available in three versions. The practical and decorative shelves work in any space; as a bookshelf, display for favorite objects or even as a room divider where multiples can be arranged together.
Paul McCobb’s innate understanding of perspective paved the way for a career as one of the most important design figures of his time. The self-taught designer's pragmatic yet perfectionist nature was reflected in his work, characterized by slender, graphic lines, a simplicity of form and lightness of design. His trademark scale and perspective imbued his no-nonsense designs, which focused on simplicity and functionality, pared-back to their purest forms.
The Bauhaus-inspired lines of each unit are crafted in durable powder-coated steel with a slightly matte finish. The joints are welded by hand and gently rounded to soften the overall expression. Diagonal rods on the two larger designs lend added support, while creating visual interest in the negative space. Shelves are made with oak veneer, bevelled at the edges to fit seamlessly with the frame - one of many small but significant details.
