the idea of this project was born when the client asked for a a big bookcase - 3 m. long - which could store a big number of books but at the same time wouldn't be a really heavy piece in the space. the design process aimed the elimination of the volume when approach to the edges.thus the main volume of the piece is gathered in its central low part and starts to decrease gradually on its upper, left and right corners. this big piece of furniture looks like it almost disappears when looking at it from certain point views when at the same time has a quiet big storage capacity.
