The production of the mobile bookcase was commissioned to QOOP by lighting company site specific. The inspiration for its design was the company's logo, whose main element is a long narrow rectangle. This shape is reproduced on the two sides of the furniture with laser cutting.
The intermediate shelves are cut lengthwise into two sections, resulting in the slit becoming permeable along the entire length. In the space between the shelves there is a suitable crimping in the form of a 'zed' on which the circular bookends roll. Their shape is inspired by the light source, while in addition to their main use, they can be placed sideways or suspended, giving a diversity to the object.
