Aspirations of higher knowledge find three-dimensional representation in the striking verticality of this tower bookcase, stripped of all non-essential elements. The svelte modular structure, available in two diameters and in free-standing or wall-mounted versions, was inspired by Athanasius Kircher’s legendary depiction of the Tower of Babel, also conceptually linked to the giant library of the same name described in the story by J.L. Borges.
