Hypostila is a modular shelving system designed by Spanish architects Lluís Clotet and Oscar Tusquets in 1979. Developed with civil engineer Jesús Jiménez, the extruded aluminium structure supports maximum weight with a minimal profile. Its design allows for infinite configurations: horizontal elements can be fixed at any height, while vertical elements can be added to suit different spaces and functions.
