The Bookworm bookshelf by the Israeli designer Ron Arad for Kartell has
a unique design and is very practical. The creative mastermind of Arad in combination with the innovative technological know-how of Kartell regarding the plastic material accounts for a design that is deservedly regarded as being revolutionary. The wonderful flowing shape is established by means of extrusion: the plastic is heated and pressed through a mould. The plastic is cooled and hardened into a flexible, bendable material without intruding the sturdiness and functionality. Its possibilities are endless: hang the Bookworm on the wall in every imaginable shape. The Bookworm comes in three lengths and is also suited for the more heavyweight literature: the shelf can bear 10 kg per support.
