Kartell
Bookworm Small Shelf - Gold
Bookworm, the flexible bookcase, is the result of the encounter between the creativity of an artist such as Ron Arad, combined with Kartell's technology, giving life to a revolutionary project produced on an industrial scale. A sinuous bookcase that takes on the desired shape without compromising strength and functionality. Available in three different lengths, Bookworm is marked by a series of bookend supports. Bookworm combines flexibility and high strength allowing a load of about 10 kg per support.
REMINDER: If the intended wall for the bookshelf is made of gyprock with timber frame the only suited Bookworm style is circular - Why? Because the weight distribution of the books needs to be in this close and solid shape - this keeps the weight evenly placed. However, a concrete or brick wall can have the "S" or "worm" style. Each shelf can hold a TOTAL of: 7 Kilograms

- The Designer
Kartell
Kartell is the world’s leading manufacturer of plastic design classics. Since the advent of this new material in 1950, Kartell has worked with designers to make plastic engaging and comfortable. Componibili was one of the first pieces launched and is still in production today. Colour is Kartell’s trademark, but in 2001 they perfected transparent plastic with the Louis Ghost chair by Philippe Starck. Louis Ghost is now their number one selling chair.
Ron Arad
Ron Arad was born in Tel Aviv in 1951 and studied at the Jerusalem Academy of Art and the Architectural Association in London. He co-founded One Off in 1981, where his Rover chair launched his career, and Ron Arad Associates in 1989; his designs include the Bookworm shelf for Kartell, and he led Design Products at the Royal College of Art from 1997 to 2009.
For Poltronova he designed the Split extendable table in 1990, among his first pieces made by another company: a resizable top of slats in various woods on arched legs of brushed steel.
