The Roll container Ring of B-Line Made from lacquered steel and oak, this piece is distinguished not only by its high-quality materials but also by its excellent craftsmanship. The contrast between the metal and wood creates a striking visual effect, further enhanced by the unique design of the Ring rolling shelf. Joe Colombo The basic geometric shape of a cube is interrupted on two sides by circular cutouts, which simultaneously serve as openings for storing items and give the Ring rolling container a sculptural look. Stacking several Ring containers on top of each other creates a shelf of the desired height.

Whether used as a coffee table, in a niche, as a bedside table, kitchen shelf, office storage, or in a dressing room – Ring is at home wherever a flexible and visually appealing storage solution is needed. The easy-care surface can be cleaned quickly. Four optional casters ensure stability even when fully loaded, while also allowing the Ring Container to be moved easily. The Ring Container is available in two color variations: anthracite or white. With a length, width and height of 38 centimeters each, the Ring rolling container adds 4.5 centimeters for the wheels, resulting in a total height of 42.5 centimeters.

The Ring shelving system from B-Line truly shines wherever it's placed. Multifunctionality and versatility, rounded corners, and a distinctive look make the Ring shelf simply unique. Throughout his life, Joe Colombo was known for his visionary designs and unique living spaces. The Ring shelving system perfectly embodies these design principles.


Joe Colombo's ingenious idea has long since become a design icon. Just one year after its introduction, and still during Colombo's lifetime, the rolling container was Boby The Boby rolling container has been awarded the Italian SMAU Innovation Award. It is part of the permanent collection at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York and at La Triennale di Milano, the Museum of Italian Design in Milan.

B-Line manufactures the Ring Container entirely in Italy. A set of four casters, which are inserted into the Ring shelf, can be used in the TAGWERC Design STORE optionally available as an add-on. Please note that the casters will increase the height by approximately 4.5 centimeters.
