ASSEMBLAGE
Highly practical and robust, the E Series has been
designed to shine a long time. With its unique post
and solid or perforated metal backs, this model

renowed for its lasting durability, can be moved
without being completely emptied. Choose the color
you want, the configuration of the shelving system,
the accessories and there you go!
