living systems and bookshelves

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.
