Kaos Bookshelf
Bonaldo’s Kaos modular bookshelf by Mauro Lipparini uses aluminum shelves and perforated metal uprights to create an open grid for books and objects.
The holes allow shelves to be positioned along the supports, while modules in different sizes expand the composition. Optional wooden boxes introduce closed volumes within the otherwise open structure.
Every detail, considered.
