The DHS 10 stacking shelf system was commissioned by the manufacturer Christian Holzäpfel from Herbert Hirche, and was intended as a light and flexible shelf as an alternative to the String shelf system by Nils and Kajsa Strinning. In contrast to the String shelving system, Hirche did not foresee his design mounting on the wall, while as the cabinet and drawer elements are veneered on all sides the DHS 10 shelf can not only be placed against the wall, but also used as a room divider.In addition to objects such as the DHS 1 lounger, the DHS 2 toy box, the DHS 4 children's desk, the DHS 6 side tables or the DHS 5 shelving, with the DHS 7 to 9 Hirche created a kitchen unit, a sideboard and a serving trolley for Christian Holzäpfel.
