DESIGN. Jeanne Mercier.

Designed by Jeanne Mercier, the starting point for the Shoe Rack was to build an object that could easily blend in urban flats with space restriction; something discreet enough, but also worthy of becoming a highlight in any space. The result is a stackable shoe rack that can be used as self-standing rack or wall-mounted, each in two different positions. By expanding its functionality, the Shoe Rack transformed from furniture born to be hidden away, into an object that can easily become the bold highlight of any space — or a subtle spotlight for prized shoes.
