De Castelli

Existence Bookcase

Design Michele De Lucchi
2010

“Why should bookcases always be straight, long, vertical, right-angle planes to keep nothing but books perfectly straight and composed? And don’t we like to keep a few small objects, keepsakes, some useless artefacts from fundamental phases of our existence, among the books?” Available in free-standing and wall-mounted versions, Existence arose as an overlapping of small, varied boxes, like the experiences and keys to one’s life: a totem-bookshelf designed to contain books and objects in a single space, built around similar modules that repeat, though the same form never appears twice.
