Drilling a concrete load bearing pillar?

Hi there,

I live on the 4th floor of a purpose built (6 floors in total), I have a circular concrete pillar in one corner of my living room (see pic attached) and I'l like to fit a few shelves around it. I won't be putting a lot of load on these no more than say 1-1.5kg.

I'm thinking of drilling small holes in it to fit the shelves, but I kind of feel a little bit anxious about it, so before I make the whole building collapse (!), can I have some advice from qualified or experienced members?

Many thanks for your contribution.
