The Design

About Exquisite Wood Estantería para libros

Exquisite Wood es una estantería fabricada en madera de olmo. El diseño se inspira en el mobiliario chino y combina formas cuadradas y redondeadas para lograr un aspecto sencillo y digno. Los componentes se unen mediante tornillos de mariposa metálicos y algunas piezas emplean estructuras de ensamble de caja y espiga. Las piezas se cortan de madera recta mediante tallado y fresado por control numérico, lo que reduce la pérdida de material. La estantería puede montarse y desmontarse a mano, por lo que la producción y el transporte siguen siendo sencillos. Las divisiones permiten clasificar y guardar libros y objetos.
