LIGHTNESS AND STRENGTH IN A BOOKCASE
An example of extraordinary workmanship, this bookcase is inspired by the quintessential nautical symbol - the sail. Its core element, the mainmast, supports all the shelves; while the tension of the side and rear tie wires ensures stability to the whole structure.
A unique blend of solid wood and stainless steel, this wall bookcase can hold and display books as well as any variety of personal and decorative objects of choice. With the grains of all elements running in the same direction, wood plays a starring role and is embellished with signature details. Metal balances the wooden elements to support the weight of whatever items the bookcase will hold.
The bookcase was dubbed Vela to celebrate its resemblance to the oldest nautical propulsion system ever conceived by man, the sail, as its shape and structure so readily remind us.
Suitable for different lounge, study and office environments, this example of fine furniture can be requested in various hues and types of wood.
