About the Item

Bookcase in ashwood, supported and structured by the primary design geometry of a diagonal cross. The distinctive feature of the Cross bookcase by Carlo Contin for Meritalia is its supporting structure: a diagonal cross of two solid wood elements. This 'cross' is the structure and essence of the object at once. For this reason it is not hidden or camouflaged by the object’s function, and instead it is brought to the fore, and placed on both the front and back of the bookshelf. Enclosed between the two intersections are extremely lightweight ash wood shelves. Cross can be a markedly stand-alone presence in every interior, but it can also be combined in multiples, exploiting its unexpected geometry to transform any spaces in different arrangements and symbologies. Care&Maintenance Especially easy to maintain, dust and stains can be cleaned with a damp non-abrasive cloth if you act immediately. It is recommended to use an alcohol-free glass cleaner and a non-abrasive cloth. Do not use abrasive cloths. Do not use soap, it can leave unsightly oily streaks Packaging Packaging in cardboard box included. Packaging in cage to quote by volume. Packaging in wooden crate to quote by volume.

By Giuseppe Viganò 1, Saba Italia
Located in Brooklyn, NY
The Leyva table is made of painted iron rod welded into a grille of uniform squares. Sophisticated and unintrusive, Leyva decorates the living room with a light, contemporary touch.

"Virgo" Black Anodized Aluminum Open Bookcase Designed by Xavier Lust for Driade
By Driade, Xavier Lust
Located in Brooklyn, NY
"Virgo" is a black anodized aluminum open structure and shelves, designed by Xavier Lust and manufactured by Driade. Indoor use only. DIMENSIONS: D. 11.8", W. 47.2", H. 78.7" "Virgo" is an "under tension" structure which assumes the typological image of a bookcase but it actually leads us to think about concave and convex surfaces relation, as well as about the energy of a bow-string. The “composition of forces” is clearly expressed by the finally achieved equilibrium. So thanks to its sculptural form, Virgo can be used as a wall bookcase and, above all, can be placed in the middle of a room. XAVIER LUST studied interior design at Institut Saint Luc...

Milonga Bookcase in Lacquered Iron with Flamed Oak Shelves by Paolo Cappello
By Paolo Cappello, Miniforms
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Milonga is a bookcase with long legs, set with a delicate cadence between spaces. Either as a partition between rooms or, more traditionally, against a wall, this is an indispensable piece for organizing your home library. As well as being technical, Milonga is bold and distinctive, and plays on the colours of the tubes and the layout of the shelves. Indeed, it is the sequence of the shelves that gives the bookcase its sense of movement, echoing the rhythm of the lines printed in the exercise books of our childhood. Additional Information: Material: Iron, oak Structure Finishing • Lacquered Antracite • Lacquered Bianco • Lacquered Bisanzio • Lacquered Bloody Mary • Lacquered Burro • Lacquered Creta • Lacquered Grigio Seta • Lacquered Mattone • Lacquered Nero • Lacquered Nuvola • Lacquered Pino • Lacquered Pompei • Lacquered Zucca Shelves Finishing • Lacquered 13 colours • Black Ash • Canaletto Walnut • Flamed Oak...
