Tikal Shelf module

Design

The Talenti Tikal Shelf module Large brings order with a quiet presence. Designed by Nicola De Pellegrini, it favors clear lines and unforced geometry, with adjustable metal shelves that shift as collections grow. The proportions feel balanced and purposeful at 48.0 in wide, 13.8 in deep, and 74.8 in high. Its name nods to the ancient city of Tikal, yet the look is unmistakably modern. Nothing fussy, nothing loud—just a disciplined structure that lets objects breathe.

Materials & Build

This is a metal build through and through, chosen for stability and long-term use. The frame blends steel, zinc, magnesium, and aluminum, giving the module a confident stance without unnecessary bulk. Shelves are removable and solid, ready for books, vessels, and everyday pieces that need dependable support. Joints are clean and deliberate, with a focus on alignment so the system feels precise in use. The Tikal collection keeps ornament to a minimum and lets the engineering do the talking.

Ease & Everyday Use

Adjustment is straightforward: shelves move up or down to fit taller art books, a stack of boxes, or a change of plans. They come out easily for occasional deep cleaning, then lock back in with a satisfyingly simple motion. For those who need enclosed storage, an optional suspended cabinet with flap door is available in the line. It features recessed handles, a 107° opening, and a Blumotion latch, measuring about 46.5 x 14.4 x 13.8 in and weighing roughly 44 lb. It is listed as compatible with the 120 x 190 configuration—best to confirm the setup before adding.

Placement & Lifestyle

The Tikal Shelf module works naturally across spaces. In a living room, it frames books and objects without stealing attention. In a home office, it clears surfaces and keeps references at eye level. It plays well with modern architecture and also brings structure to more traditional rooms. And because the shelves reconfigure, it adapts from season to season—display today, storage tomorrow—without feeling like a compromise. A protective cover is available for those who need added protection.

Longevity & Care

Built for repeat use and regular re-styling, the module is sturdy at approximately 110 lb yet composed in its footprint. It is not stackable, which helps preserve its integrity and keeps the silhouette crisp. Maintenance is easy: remove the shelves, wipe down, and reinsert. The unit ships as a single piece, so the form stays true from day one. Over time, the Tikal Shelf module Large keeps its promise—reliable, adaptable storage with an understated finish that stays relevant in the room and in daily life.
