Description
For this project, Philippe Nigro started with a simple parallelepiped which he then distorted by precision-cutting a 20° notch out of each face. This notch echoes the shape of a half-open book… whilst the chosen height of 36.5 cm is extremely appropriate to its function as a bookshelf. Thanks to the irregular shape of this module, one can obtain 4 different results simply by rotating it either horizontally or vertically. All that remains is to stack and/or juxtapose several such modules to obtain the desired configuration, a seemingly random construction. When stacked, chests are held in place by their own weight (13 kg) and steadied by small non-slip transparent rubber feet located between each chest. It is also possible to play with colour by mixing the 5 finishes on offer. Modules are made from satin lacquered MDF. Made in France.
