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.
