Designs with Bookworm. Kartell

The creativity of an artist, together with the technology of a large company, give life to a library project made on an industrial scale, and that by right can be considered as the most revolutionary until now: Bookworm, the flexible library. A careful analysis of the extrusion technology has allowed us to create a sinuous library, which assumes the desired shape, without compromising its strength and functionality. The figures that can be obtained according to the creativity of each one are multiple. Available in three lengths, Bookworm is characterized by a series of supports apoielibros. Bookworm combines flexibility and high strength, allowing a load of approximately 10 kg per support. It is advisable to fix the shelf on the wall following curvilinear shapes to tighten the material and increase its load resistance.

Kartell is famous throughout the world for having invented the culture of furniture and furniture for plastic interiors. Kartell was founded in 1949 by Giulio Castelli, a chemical engineer moved by an inspiration: to create objects from plastic, a material of applications little explored until that moment. He then began a fruitful collaboration with the great designer Gino Colombini, winner of the company's first Compasso d'Oro prize in 1955. From the beginning Kartell's goal was to "brighten up the domestic landscape", becoming one of the main promoters of the plastic in the world of decoration and interior design, although in its beginnings they are more related to the manufacture of automobile accessories in 1949. It expanded into home furnishings in 1963.
