Sopiva wall shelf, oak - white
Description
Tapio Anttila Collection’s Sopiva wall shelf – named after the Finnish word meaning “just right” or “perfectly suitable” – is, true to its name, designed to fit effortlessly into all kinds of interiors and to accommodate a wide variety of items. This pared-back wooden shelf works equally well for storing dishes and jars in the kitchen, displaying books and decorative objects in the living room, or keeping cosmetics and toothbrushes neatly organised in the bathroom.
The Sopiva shelf features a black-painted, curved metal frame paired with three oak-veneered plywood shelves. Thanks to its discreet mounting, the shelf appears to float lightly against the wall. The wooden elements are made from surplus material left over from the production of Tapio Anttila’s ON2 Wood sofa bed, and the design process itself began with the idea of making thoughtful use of these leftover pieces.

Designer Tapio Anttila is inspired by Finnish wood
Tapio Anttila is best known for his wooden furniture, and wood remains his favourite material – especially when it’s Finnish.
In his design work, he explores a wide range of techniques and applications, from solid wood and bent veneer to even birch bark. For Anttila, wood reflects Nordic heritage and a close connection to nature, while also offering a sustainable, environmentally responsible choice – a value at the core of his design philosophy.
Timeless, award-winning pieces
Some of Anttila’s best-known works include the popular Day&Night sofa bed, the Aski storage system, and the Piena chair collection, all from his own brand, Tapio Anttila Collection. He is also the designer behind the popular Mixrack series, produced by Maze.
Anttila has received several prestigious awards, including the Kaj Franck Design Prize in 2018 and multiple international Good Design Awards. He was also named Finnish Furniture Designer of the Year in 2012 and received the international Top Designer Award in 2017.
