Keen Shelving System

Design by Linda Korndal

Created for GUBI by Linda Korndal’s studio, Toko Among Friends, Keen is a modular shelving system defined by architectural structure, expressive personality, and quiet adaptability. Designed to evolve with its user, Keen expands both vertically and laterally through an intuitive rod-and-bracket system that keeps the composition visually complete at every stage. With seven core modules, frame options in black brass or satin-polished stainless steel, and shelves in FSC-certified black-brown stained ash, FSC-certified ALPI Sottsass Gray veneer (FSC® C176589), or cool-gray stained glass, the system brings sculptural rhythm, material depth, and emotional resonance to homes, hospitality settings, and workspaces alike.

storage with a soul

Fundamental to Keen is the system’s ability to adapt and expand to suit the size of the space and meet the changing needs of the user. From compact apartments to spacious family homes, hospitality environments to workspaces, Keen can grow with the user through every stage of life, move with them from place to place, and adapt to their evolving circumstances. 

Linda Korndal

Born in Denmark in 1982, architect Linda Korndal founded her architecture and design studio, Toko Among Friends, in 2020. The Copenhagen-based practice specializes in the shaping of space, working at all scales, whether through architecture, interiors, or furniture design - to sculpt evocative atmospheres full of wonder and soul. Combining an architect’s analytical approach with a designer’s appreciation of the beauty that lies in the smallest details, Korndal is driven by a curiosity about the relationship between spaces and human emotions and behaviors, the dialogue that occurs between object and observer. In this sense, every design is a character in a narrative, with a personality and vitality all its own.

intuitively adaptable

The core components of the system are vertical metal rods, three lengths of open shelf, an enclosed box shelf, feet for the bottom, and soft arches at the top. The connectors enable the unit to be extended vertically by adding more rods and shelves, with each rod piercing the shelf above through a specially engineered connector bracket.
