The design, featuring a single V-shaped profile, is used here both for the framework and for the bookshelves. As always, the use of innovative technological materials is what defines this project. Structural shelves made of plywood panels, reinforced with aluminium and then folded.
The addition of a structural composite material profile, obtained via a process of extrusion by means of traction, allows for maximum load resistance. The design includes LED lamps, housed within the shelves. The outer finish is eucalyptus wood. The back panel is made of a special aluminium sheet featuring a three-dimensional texture achieved with a laser cutter.
Foster + Partners is one of the most innovative architectural and integrated design studios in the world. Since its founding in 1967, the studio promoted a sustainable approach to architecture, with a wide variety of projects including urban planning, public infrastructure, airports, civic and cultural buildings, offices and workplaces, private houses and product design. Its architects and engineers combine their knowledge to develop integrated solutions for sustainable design by working together creatively from the project’s beginning. Foster + Partners and Molteni&C deal with each project eclectically through the use of innovative materials and technologies such as the Arc table with its lightweight concrete base, or the Teso coffee table where the production technique was totally reinvented.
