This shelving system is the second project by Pierre Paulin for Magis, which was launched on the market in 2009 as the low chair Flower, after a long project development started in 2003. In the 70s Pierre Paulin was commissioned to fit out the living, dining, smoking and exhibition rooms of the private apartments for the President Pompidou at the Elysée Palace. Starting from the project of a shelving system he designed on that occasion, Pierre Paulin later developed Elysée for Magis, a modular shelving system available in veneered plywood, allowing an endless series of compositions.

Elysée features veneered plywood in a variety of finishes. The T-shaped joint is made of ABS and the wall hooks are galvanized steel. Wall hooks have to be fixed only to the side modules of the composition. It is offered in five different compositions, custom configurations can also be specified (please call for details).
