Kartell Bookworm Modern Bookshelf by Ron Arad


The Bookworm was designed by Ron Arad for Kartell in Italy.

An artist's creativity combined with a great company's technology, gives life to a bookcase design of industrial scale that can rightfully be considered the world's most daring an revolutionary: Bookworm, the flexible bookshelf. A careful analysis of extrusion technology has allowed the creation of a curvy bookcase which assumes any desired shape, without compromising toughness and functionality. Unlimited shapes can be formed, limited only by personal creativity. Available in tree different lengths, Bookworm is marked by a series or book supports. Bookworm combines flexibility and superior durability allowing approximately 20 lbs between each support. It is advisable to wall-mount the shelf in a curved shape keeping the material in tension and to increase resistance once loaded.
