Design furniture with Shelf Maker

Control cabinet size, structure, functions, mounting, edges, and finishes.

Shelf Maker is Supernata’s parametric furniture studio. Every control changes the editable structure rather than flattening the design into a picture.

Start with the outer size

Select a cabinet and set its width, height, and depth. Normal manual edits support cabinet bodies from 30–300 cm wide, 30–300 cm high, and 20–100 cm deep. A feature such as a curved edge, drawer, or accessory can require a larger minimum; the studio explains the constraint instead of creating an impossible result.

Build the structure

  • Add, remove, resize, or reorder vertical sections.
  • Divide a section into compartments and adjust their heights.
  • Apply a ready-made internal layout when it matches the available space.
  • Add connected arms or a corner layout for L-shaped furniture.
  • Choose floor-standing or floating mounting where the design supports it.

Add functions

Select a compartment to add a hinged or sliding door, drawers, open storage, shelves, hanging storage, and supported accessories. If a function cannot fit, change the compartment size or choose a compatible layout. Do not treat a refusal as a visual glitch—the same physical rules protect pricing, drawings, and fabrication data.

Shape and finish the design

Choose interior and exterior colors, face styles, handles, bases, and supported edge treatments. Custom colors or textures stay attached to the design when supported by the chosen sharing flow.

Work confidently

Use Undo and Redo for manual edits. Rotate the model after a structural change and inspect doors, drawers, gaps, and connected cabinets. Then review materials and pricing and share or export the result.
