Target Bookcase
Target is a bookcase designed by Nendo for Arketipo, using cross-shaped divisions to create a shifting graphic pattern as books fill its shelves.
White lacquered MDF panels keep the geometry clear, with a lightly textured surface that softens the finish. The bookcase is secured to the wall, giving the open arrangement a fixed architectural presence.
