About the Item
Manhattan Italian Travertine Marble Shelve Design Contemporary Collectible Spain
The Manhattan Bookshelf is more than a shelving unit—it is a collectible design piece, a functional sculpture that pays tribute to architectural majesty through the refined lens of contemporary craftsmanship. Crafted from Italian Roman travertine marble and tempered glass, it stands as a testament to understated luxury, where simplicity meets rich symbolism and striking artistic intent.
At its core, the design is anchored by two marble pedestals that rise in elegant, stepped volumes—an unmistakable nod to the iconic silhouette of the Empire State Building. Each tier supports a crystal-clear glass shelf, creating a visual rhythm that mimics the ascent of a skyscraper. This architectural dialogue transforms the bookshelf into a symbolic monument, fusing form and function with poetic precision.
The use of Roman travertine marble—an ancient, noble material favored by emperors and architects alike—imbues the piece with a timeless gravitas and tactile warmth. The juxtaposition of this richly textured stone with ethereal glass shelves creates a balance of weight and lightness, permanence and transparency. It's a design that whispers luxury, not with extravagance, but with clarity, purity, and quiet power.
What sets the Manhattan Bookshelf apart is its exceptional exclusivity. Each unit is meticulously handcrafted at Meddel España, where master artisans bring Joaquín Moll’s visionary design to life using traditional stone-carving techniques and modern precision. No two pieces are identical—each one is a bespoke creation, offering collectors the rare privilege of owning a limited-edition work of functional art.
Designed by renowned artist and designer Joaquín Moll, celebrated for his innovative and emotive use of stone, the bookshelf is a study in structural clarity and design restraint. There are no unnecessary elements—only the perfect harmony of materials, proportion, and symbolism. It can be fully customized in a range of exquisite stones and finishes, allowing it to adapt seamlessly to the most discerning and curated interiors, from contemporary penthouses to serene gallery-like spaces.
Sophisticated and sculptural, the Manhattan Bookshelf redefines the concept of shelving as vertical art. It is an iconic, heirloom-quality piece—infused with meaning, architectural legacy, and the spirit of modern luxury. A true collector’s treasure, destined to become a timeless focal point in any refined space.
