Between Lines edition

During Design Miami in December 2007 we presented a new ‘bookcase’ called ‘Between Lines’.

The work consists of seven mirror polished, stainless steel letter bands. The one-off edition piece marks the first set of a production line which will be launched in Milan 2008 and will be available in a rubber coated finish.VIEW_MORE

Each of the 2.70 meter letter bands can be coiled up to a small roll, unfolded and reshaped to an infinite array of configurations. Without additional brackets the letter bands are simply screwed to the wall.

The typical means of a book shelf which to often gets covered in layers of dust is thrown out of centre movement is favoured over stability.

The shelf transforms into a sculpture and yet it reveals the beauty of the book covers and its content.

When letters get mixed up, repeated, or when content gets confused and explanation fails an explosion of letters creates an unorganized support to hold our literature.

Giving insight rather in closing its content which is to often covered with dust.

Offering the possibilities to present them open rather having them closed and inviting to read ‘Between the Lines’.
