Breuer Bono - Martin Breuer-Bono - Bücherregal - OFFEN - Birke

How much do you need? And how much does it need to hold a book? OPEN substantially rethinks the typology of a bookcase. The result is a physically and optically reduced object, using the minimum amount of material.
An airy grid that opens up like a fan inviting your books to accommodate. Once parked they are presented like a bouquet of flowers.OPEN -via an elegant gesture- invites to interact, to (re-)group your books: With the tip of a finger you can choose a book and tilt it towards you! Empty, it produces a sculptural cast shadow on the wall, fully loaded it draws back and leaves the scenery to your books.

Mission Statement

„To design products to me means to reflect on the essence of things. I try to charge my objects with relevance and radiation. And they should allow to establish a relationship with the user. Things transform to objects, when they allow persons to relate to them. In this way, to design a product is to redefine culture. That's what I call: Beautiful systems.“
