Cross

The defining feature of Cross is its supporting structure: two solid wood elements arranged in a diagonal cross. This structure is both the foundation and the essence of the design. Rather than concealing it, the bookshelf brings the cross to the forefront, making it visible from both the front and back.

The diagonal cross evokes the human body in the act of supporting, combining references to the human scale of Vitruvian Man and the superhuman strength of Atlas, who bears the weight of knowledge and invention.

Lightweight ash wood shelves are fitted between the intersecting elements. Cross can stand as a sculptural presence on its own or be combined in multiples, using its distinctive geometry to create varied spatial arrangements and visual compositions.
