The real success of a living system comes when those who adopt it are able to give their personal imprint, in order to influence the environment and “color it” with their own passions and interests. That’s why bookcases and shelves are a primary element, expression of continuous reinterpretations to become, in the environment, the main character, welcoming in the stylistic vision of the company the one of the user too. Rimadesio wanted to re-imagine tradition with Self Up, outlining a slightly déco look that uses glass’ aesthetic for the shelves and elevates the structure on slender legs, including the possibility of different configurations. Same customization for Wind, more industrial-looking, using aluminium for compositions represented of extruded shelves, whose peculiarity is in its rounded seams where the geometric rigor meets original insights. Neuma, by Lia Bosch for Riva 1920, draws its inspiration from Plato’s philosophy, synthesizing the origin of the world in a project built on the relationships between elements, all based on the number 3, for an organic and harmonious result. Horm instead focuses on technology, proposing L’Ov: L-shaped elements both vertical and horizontal mixing in different ways, supplemented by LEDs that turn the bookcase into a lamp. An ironic and vaguely didactic look for Bonaldo’s for April, May and June objects: maxi vases and bottles in lightweight tubular steel varnished in various colors that joke with the environment, disposable to the most diverse uses.
