The shelf was shown in Milano 1999, the same year as Snowcrash, owned by Proventus Design Sweden, was launched. The shelf was produced in a small edition and just 4 copies were made. The shelf is significant for the period around year 2000 when the idea of a more horizontal and relaxed home for a new generation was central. An idea that the designers in Snowcrash particularly focused on.
