The challenge
Realizing a slender and essential bookcase, almost invisible, but sturdy at the same time and capable of holding piles of books, which are the key items of the bookcase, challenging gravity.
The vertical Ptolomeo bookcase, supported by an anti-tipping base, looks light but solid.
Its thin shelves are assembled off-set, so that it looks like the books are self-sustained.
It is suitable for any type of area, and it is made of metal: its colors can be White, Black and Corten, in 3 different height standards: low, medium, high.
The result
Bookcase, the winner of the most esteemed world design award “Compasso d’Oro ADI” in 2004, iconic and style protagonist.
