TAF Standard Shelf System by TAF Studio for NC Nordic Care

TAF Studio, Gabriella Lenke and Mattias Ståhlbom

A sublime example of Scandinavian design philosophy where simplicity meets infinite possibilities

TAF Studio has created a shelving system built on the principle of overlapping rails – a pure architectural structure where vertical tracks support horizontal planes in a rhythmic composition.

The system’s beauty lies in its changeable nature. Each element can be moved, adapted, and recomposed according to needs and space. Shelves glide elegantly between positions, while cabinet modules add functionality without compromising the clean formal language. The characteristic handles in leather or hide become soft accents against the strict lines – a tactile detail that humanizes the minimalist expression.

The color palette ranges from muted neutral tones to strategically placed color accents in red and blue, giving users the freedom to create their own visual narrative. It’s a system that grows with its users, where each configuration becomes a personal expression within the framework of timeless design.

TAF has here distilled the essence of storage into something that is both functional tool and aesthetic statement – a piece of furniture that embodies the idea that the simple is often the most sophisticated.
