My partner and I have recently moved into an apartment in Stockholm built around the 50s. We want to put up an Elfa shelf for books and we thought the wall was made of aerated concrete - but no. The plug came right out. We maybe thought it was some type of plaster but there’s no "hole" and the dust is very gray/black almost. This is what it looks like… does anyone know what type of wall it is and how (if possible) to attach an Elfa shelf that will hold for books?
Best regards,
The couple who is clueless despite Google

Is there anything that can make it possible to fasten in slag stone?
