Various wheeled shelving units with four browsing sides, constructed from birch plywood and equipped with standard and angled shelves, as well as retractable steel cabinets. Album boxes, also made of birch plywood and fitted with casters, equipped with angled metal shelves.

Based on the Nova shelving system, the various shelving units developed adapt to the different requirements of the project, ranging from the more conventional single and double units to tall wall-mounted shelving with curved segments that conform to the building’s morphology. The black plinths elevate the main body of the unit, which is composed of frames and top and bottom shelves veneered in birch wood. The frames also incorporate wired glass with backlighting. The steel shelves retain the characteristic 30 mm incremental height adjustment typical of the Nova shelving system.

The Hat desks, in the leg-mounted version, allowed the creation of electrically and individually height-adjustable workbenches, enabling users to easily alternate between seated and standing positions. The same Hat system was used in the offices, this time in the version with a side panel. The meeting area was equipped with the Lno table, prepared for power connections and cable management.

Inaugurated in the renovated Herta Mohr Building, the Middle Eastern Library and African Library are part of Leiden University Library. The tall Nova shelving units stand out, featuring floor fixation, LED lighting, and mobile ladders. Some side modules include special prints with colours and patterns that identify specific disciplines and support spatial orientation within the building. The lower shelving units, some with integrated study spaces, include lighting and castors. Also noteworthy are the LN reading tables, with integrated lighting and power and data connection points.

A former cinema in Antwerp has been converted into the new headquarters of B-architecten, a Belgian architectural firm that was also responsible for the conversion project. For this project, Iduna supplied various elements of the Penta range, a new line of sofas, stools and tables designed by B-bis Architecten, itself a division of the firm dedicated to smaller-scale architectural projects, interior design, offices, scenography, temporary installations and furniture design. Penta equipment is essentially made from sheet steel, occasionally combined with fabric-covered cushions.

If a chair could float, it would be LEVE. Light in name, but striking in presence, its sculptural silhouette redefines the concept of seating. A balance between fluidity and structure, it seems almost ethereal – a metal composition that adapts, transforms, and inspires.

The proposed shelving units, available in both straight and curved configurations, prioritise ease of layout changes and are generally fitted with braked castors. The Nova shelving system serves as the foundation for the project; however, the side panels and top shelves are replaced with compact panels. Among the other supporting items for the library, we highlight various display units and album boxes, which are also fitted with castors.

The supplied shelving units are based on the principles of the original Nova design; however, some components have been adapted to the specific needs of the project, namely the side panels – now 3 mm thick -, the top shelf, without a bottom trim panel, and the bottom shelf, which is taller, slanted and easy to remove.

The new headquarters of Peute, an international company dedicated to recycling paper and plastic, was equipped with Moov meeting tables with bevelled tops with lids for power sockets access. The Moov tables were also used in the eating areas, but this time with round tops with straight edges, high Ln tables were also used. For storage needs, 1004 cupboards were supplied with perforated doors and backs with acoustic mesh applied on the inner faces, flower boxes were integrated into the tops of the cabinets.
