    Studio Santalla, Inc The recessed LED strip is from Luminii: http://www.luminii.com/catalog/linear-led-extrusions/recessedslimline-7.html. The Surface mounted fixture is called the C2 Rotante, from Viabizzuno: http://www.viabizzuno.com/index.php?page=prodotto&CampoMercato=Mercato120&idGruppo=1291. We use both manufacturers on a regular basis, and highly recommend them.

    Studio Santalla, Inc This is a large terra cotta tile. Unfortunately, we don't have the exact specification, because project was in rural France, and the tile was sourced locally.

    Studio Santalla, Inc The shelves are built in, and supported on the sides and back with hidden brackets. They are not adjustable. You can achieve a similar look with brackets like these from Hafele: https://hachol02.hafeleonline.com/OA_HTML/ibeCCtpItmDspRte.jsp?item=19310&sitex=10020:22372:US
