About Aero Bookcase Polica za knjige

Aero polica za knjige je samostojeća polica za knjige inspirisana avionima iz 1920-ih godina. Noge i glavna struktura prate zakrivljene linije koje podsjećaju na ranu avijaciju i organski stil tog perioda. Okvir je izrađen od masivnog drveta Tzalam, a police kombinuju laminirani prirodni hrast sa obojenim laminiranim staklom. Invertovane zakrivljene drvene police drže knjige blizu jedne drugoj. Staklene police služe za odlaganje knjiga ili ukrasa, a tonirano staklo reflektuje obojenu svjetlost u prostoriju. Površine su završene sa šest slojeva poliuretana.

Production Technology
Built with sharp cuts with high technology machinery in solid Tzalam wood on the legs, and shelves laminated with natural oak wood (fusionated with heat) and colored laminated glass in different colors to choose. Stained with six layers of polyurethane and laminated glass with various optional colors.
Design Challenge
The most difficult part of this furniture was designing the most appropriate joint between legs, both for industrial production, as the esthetic of the piece: The main challenge was to give a continuous form to the elliptical shelves in a gradual but artistic interpretation using different layers.
Research
An investigation was realized about the structure and form of the airplanes from 1920 to 1930, from which came the original shapes of the design.
The creative research challenge was the toughest part of this design activity.
Inspiration
The lines of the aero bookcase, arise from the need to communicate the adventurer spirit to innovate at the beginning of the last century, represented by the wooden planes with special textiles and fabrics that flew through the sky during those years. It is not only a unique stylish accent furniture, but also a piece that inspires and invites to dare and achieve.
Project Duration
The design process begun in September 2016 at the factory of G.RIOS at Merida, Yucatan, Mexico, it was finished on December 2016.
Operation Flow
The form of the inverted curved shelves make the books stay tight to one another, in the case of the wooden shelves. The crystal shelves can be used either for books or decorative ornaments and thus, take advantage of the reflected light through the tinted glass, that can be customized in different colors, giving a unique personality to the room itself.
