HONG KONG By Cantori
Freestanding sectional aluminium and wood bookcase
Hong Kong is a modular self-supporting bookcase. The base and the load-bearing side panels are made in plywood with ash wood veneering. Each module can be customised with a wooden shelf, which can be used as a shelf or as a decoration, or with container cubes with lift-up doors which can be placed as desired and make the unit always unique. The structural elements are not concealed, but actually stand out and become the stylistic feature of the composition, creating the distinctive character of the post-industrial design. Wood and aluminium are actively combined to give continuity to the modular structure, where the individual components seamlessly become a part of the whole. The Hong Kong bookcase can also be used as a partition wall. The series of apertures designed on the back panel creates light effects which mark and enhance the structure.
