This item is made to order
The Existence collection comprises a range of freestanding totally metal bookcases, which are available in different sizes from one layer to 7 layers high and in 2 different metals/finishes. Complementing the freestanding options, there is also an Existence Wall collection available, supplied with a wall fixing system for wall installation.
What does De Castelli say?
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.
