The finest objects brought to you by {name}

Eleonore Floret

How much do you need? And how much does it need to hold a book? OPEN substantially rethinks the typology of a bookcase. The result is a physically and optically reduced object, using the minimum amount of material. 
An airy grid that opens up like a fan inviting your books to accommodate. Once parked they are presented like a bouquet of flowers. OPEN -via an elegant gesture- invites to interact, to (re-)group your books: With the tip of a finger you can choose a book and tilt it towards you! Empty, it produces a sculptural cast shadow on the wall, fully loaded it draws back and leaves the scenery to your books.

Origin
OPEN was developed in Graz, Austria, and is manufactured in Styria.

Materials
birch plywood multiplex 11 layers
coating zeroblack
edges honed and untreated
stainless steel, brushed

Dimensions
WxHxD 115x235x11 cm

Please note:
The OPEN bookshelf is designed to house small and medium sized books, CDs, DVDs etc. up to a height of 25cm and a width of 18cm. 

BREUER & BONO
 is an Austrian furniture label with a strongly pronounced esthetic claim. Minimum material, maximum materiality: This is a key aspect, formally as well as resource-wise. All pieces are designed and developed in depth exclusively by Martin Breuer-Bono and manufactured in small batches by local craftsmen using carefully selected materials.

 Martin Breuer-Bono 
holds a Master‘s Degree from the Technische Universität Wien and a MDes Degree from the Royal College of Art, London. Apart from formal-esthetic considerations his work is focused on conceptional contents always striving for the quality of the essential. His projects won prestigious international design and innovation prizes, his work was on display in exhibitions touring numerous countries. Martin Breuer-Bono lives and works in Graz, Austria.

 Mission Statement
 „To design products to me means to reflect on the essence of things. I try to charge my objects with relevance and radiation. And they should allow to establish a relationship with the user. Things transform to objects, when they allow persons to relate to them. In this way, to design a product is to redefine culture. That's what I call: Beautiful systems.“ 

Please note that the bookshelf is manufactured in our workshop upon order, so allow for two weeks until delivery.
