Mode shelving utilises the high tensile strength of steel to offer a lighter look in a system with heavyweight performance and durability.
A modern classic with traditional values The original Demco four-post system Mode shelving has been developed to meet the changing needs of libraries in service delivery and visitor expectations, to create aspirational spaces for today’s competitive environment. With its concealed supports, horizontal lines and seemingly floating shelves with slim flat fronts, Mode brings a modern aesthetic suitable for all kinds of libraries – from converted, eco friendly warehouses to modern, inner city new builds. Designed, developed and manufactured in the UK, Mode shelving offers sensible prices, easy accessibility and reassuring reliability.
Modular. Space Efficient. Contemporary. That’s Mode.

Practicality and aesthetics come together The four post design of Mode shelving doesn’t just look good. It’s practical and space-efficient, too, as double sided Mode bays can be butted together with no need for a central support, so its compact footprint allows storage density to be increased. Manufactured in the UK, from high grade steel, Mode is durable, sustainable and built to last – making it a great long-term investment for any library, institution or organisation.
Configure your space to meet your needs Mode is a complete modular system, available in a range of sophisticated standard colours with a huge range of steel and MDF accessories and components to meet individual needs. The accessories below can all be finished to match your Mode shelving or to tie in with your interior design. Mode shelving offers full BIM functionality.
