Vitsœ 606 Universal Shelving System

The 606 system was designed by the highly influential German industrial designer Dieter Rams. It was first introduced in 1960 and has been in continuous production ever since.

The system utilizes steel wall-fixed or freestanding poles onto which you can hang shelves, cabinets, and desks. Because all the components are interchangeable, you can expand or reconfigure the system as your storage needs change.

The shelving system is manufactured by Vitsœ, a British company with factories in Leamington Spa and a new facility built in the mid-2010s. They famously move their production to ensure long-term stability for spare parts.

Yes, the 606 system can be installed entirely freestanding without attaching it to a wall. You simply attach the aluminum posts to specially designed steel cross-bases, allowing you to build a structural room divider.
