MYCS Alternative: KUUDU Compared

280 × 220 × 35 cm
FSC oak
Made in Germany
Configurable in 3D

Building

MYCS stood for a simple promise: design your own furniture in the browser – GRYD shelving in lacquered MDF, sized and coloured in an online configurator, delivered as your design. Anyone who planned a GRYD knows the appeal of that workflow. It is the same workflow KUUDU is built around, carried out in 3D and in one material.

The configuration shown is a full shelf wall: about 280 cm wide at 220 cm height, with staggered levels between neighbouring sections. Oak veneer (FSC European) on powder-coated aluminium, open construction without back panels, each board rated for 20 kg. Levels, gap heights, boxes and mounting are chosen per 75 cm section.

Configured today, rebuilt in five years: the grid extends sideways up to 450 cm per run, extension and replacement modules ship within the standard delivery time, and the 3D configurator shows price and dimensions live while you plan. Made in Germany.

FAQ

I planned my furniture online before – does that work here?

Yes, that is the core of KUUDU. The 3D configurator runs in the browser, shows the shelf photorealistically, and updates price and dimensions with every change. The configuration shown on this page is a live starting point, not a picture.

What happens if I need parts years from now?

The system runs on a fixed 75 cm grid with standardised parts – extension and replacement modules ship within the standard delivery time, and an existing shelf rebuilds rather than being replaced.

Lacquer or wood surface?

KUUDU ships in oiled oak veneer (FSC European) with frame parts in black or white. The surface is open-pored wood rather than lacquer, over a powder-coated aluminium structure.
