Timeless, movable and constantly evolving

Designed by Dieter Rams in 1960, the 606 Universal Shelving System was conceived to be timeless. You can add a single shelf to a system bought 50 years ago and then take it with you when you move.

 

At the core of the shelving system is the E-Track that can be attached directly to the wall. Shelves, cabinets and tables are hung from the E-Track by slipping the aluminum pins into place.

If no wall is available, or it is uneven, the E-Track may be attached to the X-Post. The system can then stand on the floor and avoid obstructions allowing it to be installed in many places.

What can I use to clean my shelves?

We recommend using warm water and a cloth for most surfaces. If the mark is still visible, use a cream cleaner and a cloth lightly over the surface.

We have found E-cloths to be the best around.
