Naòs

Bookcase

Pierluigi Cerri, 2010

Continually expanding to include new solutions, Naòs is a series of executive furniture for high-end spaces. The bookshelf in all its versions (double-face, wall-mounted or free-standing against a wall) seems to be unaffected by gravity and suspended in space due to its close proximity to the wall and the outer LED lighting. The aluminium edging of the shelf is a formal feature that integrates structural components and functional accessories.
