Designed in 1926, the holiday home is nothing less than a work of art by Eileen Gray, with a few square metres of unique designs by the shadowy multi-creator. So modest was she that she remained something of a recluse until the age of 90 - despite having designed some of the most iconic products of the 20th century.

Bond from Fogia

In Scandinavia, we are used to the fact that there are several flexible shelving systems and storage solutions to choose from, where different parts can be used to customise something that covers all everyday needs. Many people have grown up with shelving systems such as String or Elfa, which have achieved their popularity thanks to an extremely well thought-out design, good choice and relatively easy assembly. However, it is all the more difficult to get a shelving system to suit everyone's needs in terms of different styles, which therefore leaves plenty of room for competition.
