Drop Bookshelf
Drop by Nendo for Cappellini stacks open compartments into a slim, double-sided column bookcase.
Thin laser-cut metal creates the structure, finished in matte white, black or mud. Three heights let the design act as upright shelving or, in its lowest version, a bedside table, with adjustable feet helping the base sit evenly.
Every detail, considered.
