Baxter
Rafiki Bookcase
The Rafiki antique brass bookcase by Draga & Aurel embodies a sculptural elegance that combines a design with ethnic elements to precious handcrafted materials, creating a versatile piece of furniture capable of enhancing any environment. The structure is characterised by a refined play of lines and surfaces that give the bookcase a monumental and sophisticated appearance. Each shelf seems to float between the vertical uprights and the asymmetrical bases, generating a dynamic effect of lightness that contrasts with the solid presence of the metal. The antique brass finish adds a timeless charm, evoking an archaic aesthetic reinterpreted in a contemporary key.

Baxter
Launched in Italy on January 1990, Baxter is the combination of experience and passion, a sense for business, a desire not to follow the rules, and the spirit and feeling evoked by the Made in Italy philosophy. Describing Baxter as “the story of encounters, ideas, but above all of people”, founders Luigi Bestetti and his nephew Paolo Bestetti began their journey towards the contemporary by pursuing "the freest expressiveness”.
Draga & Aurel
Draga & Aurel was founded in Como in 2007 by Draga Obradovic, born in Čačak, Serbia, who studied painting and worked as a textile designer, and Aurel K. Basedow, born in Munich, who trained in woodworking before studying painting at Brera. They began as pioneers of upcycling, reinventing vintage furniture and objects.
A showing at the 2009 Salone del Mobile introduced them internationally, and they have worked with Gallotti&Radice, Visionnaire, Poltrona Frau and Giorgetti. For Baxter they designed the Brigitte sofa, the Dune bookcase inspired by 1970s pop art and the Tile collection.
