Teso Bookcase
The FontanaArte Teso bookcase by Renzo Piano forms an open shelving structure from clear float-glass shelves and uprights.
Chromed metal ties hold the composition together, tracing slim vertical lines through the transparent construction. Open on both sides, the bookcase allows books and objects to remain visible within a grid that emphasizes the glass edges and horizontal shelves.
Every detail, considered.
