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.
