A rare pair of Plastra wall shelves, designed by Jean-Lin Viaud for Prisunic around 1970, emblematic of French Space Age and Pop design. This piece is available again.

These sculptural wall-mounted pieces reflect the optimistic, futuristic spirit of the era while maintaining a strong functional identity.

Made from glossy thermoformed plastic, the shelves feature a seamless, one-piece construction with no visible joints. Each unit offers three open compartments and two integrated holes on the back for wall mounting, resulting in a lightweight yet stable structure with a clean architectural presence.

The softly rounded edges and essential lines are characteristic of Viaud’s approach to accessible modern design, developed during a period when Prisunic played a key role in bringing contemporary aesthetics into everyday interiors. Presented here in a classic ivory white and a rich chocolate brown, the Plastra wall shelves work equally well as sculptural accents or practical storage elements.

Today, these shelves are considered true icons of 1970s French design—collectible objects that bridge utility and visual impact, ideal for modern, vintage-inspired or eclectic interiors.
