Of dit nou 'n artistieke stuk is wat kleur en lig saamsmelt of 'n boekrak in jou leefruimte, die uitgestrekte buigsaamheid wat dit bied sal jou in staat stel om dit in een van 'n soort te verander. Die eindgebruiker kan sy boekrak aanpas en verpersoonlik om aan sy/haar behoeftes en lewenstyl te voldoen. Die hoofhakies en eindbedekking kan van verskillende materiaal en afwerking gemaak word en kan te eniger tyd op verskillende plekke geplaas word, dieselfde geld vir die verskillende tipes rakke. Die stelsel is buigsaam wat die eindgebruiker in staat stel om 'n unieke kleurskema en samestelling te skep.

- Inspiration
- minimal and modular design were the key elements behind Kozo design.
I wanted the end user to have the possibility to interact with the design and be part of it, make it more personalized.
the possibility to create different composition by placing different types of modular shelves and integrating different material and colors, makes each Kozo bookshelf a unique piece. - Project Duration
