Bookcase: shelves in a new essence of eucalyptus, structure in Magnesium textured metal in a silvery-grey tone.
“A man’s bookcase will tell you everything you need to know about him.” So wrote the novelist Walter Mosley, quoting a quote from his father. Certainly, the bookcase is the piece of furniture in a home or office that, among all, is capable of revealing the nature of a soul, a window into people’s interests, experiences and heritage. In the Executive Office furniture family, the Carter bookcase responds with more rudimentary geometriesegolar to the more complex ones on the desk. Here, Lipparini gets it a vital sense of rigor and versatility for the functions of containing and displaying. The horizontal surfaces, made of an exotic wood such as eucalyptus, alternate with vertical panels in worked and textured metal in a rhythmic scattered order, marking the irr phrasingegolare, as in a musical pentagram. The combination of material and kinetic form makes Carter something more than a useful product for today.
It prepares to be a personal showcase for the years to come, the physical expression of the spirit and mind and all the stories of each of us.
