Know before you buy
Yes, because this is a wall-mounted unit, we recommend professional installation to ensure it is securely anchored to your wall type. Proper mounting is essential to support the weight of the glass shelves and your displayed items.
While the design is minimalist and airy, the glass shelves are durable and intended for standard decorative items, books, and home accessories. We recommend distributing weight evenly across the shelves to maintain the unit's structural integrity.
Yes, the Trasparenza is available in two heights—151 cm with five shelves or 183 cm with six shelves—and two widths of 88 cm or 120 cm. This allows you to select the configuration that best fits your specific wall space.
The shiny stainless steel finish is high-quality, but like any polished metal surface, it may show fingerprints with frequent handling. A simple wipe with a soft, dry microfiber cloth is usually sufficient to keep the supports looking pristine.
Absolutely. The combination of glass shelving and slim stainless steel supports creates a 'floating' effect that minimizes visual clutter, making it an excellent choice for smaller rooms or spaces where you want to maintain an open, airy feel.
