Kartell

Bookworm Medium Shelf

Designed by Ron Arad

Bookworm, the flexible bookcase, is the result of the encounter between the creativity of an artist such as Ron Arad, combined with Kartell's technology, giving life to a revolutionary project produced on an industrial scale. A sinuous bookcase that takes on the desired shape without compromising strength and functionality. Available in three different lengths, Bookworm is marked by a series of bookend supports. Bookworm combines flexibility and high strength allowing a load of about 10 kg per support.

REMINDER: If the intended wall for the bookshelf is made of gyprock with timber frame the only suited Bookworm style is circular - Why? Because the weight distribution of the books needs to be in this close and solid shape - this keeps the weight evenly placed. However, a concrete or brick wall can have the "S" or "worm" style. Each shelf can hold a TOTAL of: 7 Kilograms

Materials

Structure material: Mass-Coloured And “Flame Retardant” Pvc

Kartell

Kartell

Kartell is the world’s leading manufacturer of plastic design classics. Since the advent of this new material in 1950, Kartell has worked with designers to make plastic engaging and comfortable. Componibili was one of the first pieces launched and is still in production today. Colour is Kartell’s trademark, but in 2001 they perfected transparent plastic with the Louis Ghost chair by Philippe Starck. Louis Ghost is now their number one selling chair.
