The grid: a never-ending expanse of geometric order and a concept our human brains love––born perhaps from a need to seek order, but we love a beautifully straight line. Dot Objects presents their newest shelving collection with evolution at its core, a clinical removal of all things unnecessary. With a focus on steel and wood, these materials can be appreciated even more through a purity of materiality and form finding harmony.
Helmed by designer Wiktoria Markiewicz, each piece of this collection is crafted with great care. Wooden elements are handmade in-house and steel components welded by skilled local craftsmen in Poland, keeping the production chain short, transparent, and as ethical as possible. The result is a collection that feels both personal and rigorous—industrial in clarity, intimate in execution––born from “a desire to create furniture that feels honest, minimal in form yet rich in material and detail.”
The Grid Shelving Unit anchors the steel series. Crafted from high-quality 2mm steel and available powder-coated in custom RAL colors—or in stainless steel—the piece is modest in size while maximizing useful surface area. Its rigid, minimal design is defined by clean lines and sharp angles, functioning simultaneously as storage and structure. Built to support up to nearly 200 pounds, it is as robust as it is restrained.
Throughout the day, its surface interacts subtly with light, shifting in tone and depth as shadows trace its planes. While the powder-coated finish offers durability and access to over 200 RAL colors, stainless steel variants introduce a more elemental expression—one that can quietly patinate over time, reinforcing the brand’s embrace of material honesty rather than resisting it.

The Essential Wall Shelf continues this dialogue in a more vertical orientation, also crafted from 2mm steel and precision-cut for a clean, delicately proportioned, minimal profile. The two vertical elements conceal small i-hooks for hanging, and the horizontal ones are simply planes of metal, minimizing visual weight even while retaining its radiant hue.
Essentially, it is designed as a framework for personal belongings, shifting character depending on what it holds—mugs, books, small heirlooms—and allowing daily rituals to animate its structure. The shelf can be finished in any RAL tone, enabling it to either punctuate a wall as a bold accent or blend seamlessly into its surroundings. Its straightforward construction highlights the honesty of the material; nothing is ornamental, yet nothing feels lacking.

While steel articulates the grid in crisp planes, the wooden series softens it with grain and warmth. The Pine Grid Shelf celebrates the unique vertices of solid pine, crafted entirely in the Netherlands from high-quality 18mm polish pine multiplex plates. Each piece undergoes a meticulous, week-long hand-oiling process using pigmented linseed oil from Linolie, allowing the wood’s natural patterns to emerge while enhancing durability. Each made to order, they are finally finished in a lakpolish coating, ensuring long-lasting durability and easy maintenance. What’s more, it can be customized in More than 60 Linolie.dk satin oil colors as well as an alternative Mini version offering a more compact footprint.

The Mirror Shelf retains an ergonomic simplicity within relatively strict delineations of form while introducing reflection into the grid language. The compact composition comprises 2mm steel with glass for a subtle interplay of depth and light. Reflective surfaces catch and amplify their surroundings, quietly elevating whatever is placed upon them to turn keys, pens, and keepsakes into curated compositions. A solid palette of white, black, red, bare steel, and blue, does not detract from the form whatsoever. And a small lip at the front keeps things from falling off, creating an optical illusion in their stead.
Across both steel and wood, the philosophy remains consistent: clarity of form, integrity of material, and production rooted in craft. As Markiewicz notes, “Dot Objects grew from a personal search for furniture that truly resonated with my aesthetics and values. I believe artisan-quality design should be both accessible and customizable.”
Born from father-daughter collaboration and sustained by local partnerships, each object carries that sense of shared authorship—quiet, considered, and built to last.
