Storage: new flexible personalities.

If your idea of bookcase is a whole of horizontal shelves or of storage units are orthogonal elements, lots of suprises are in store for you at next Salone del Mobile and Milan Design Week 2013: shelves that explode, diverge and revolve; the function of arranging books and objects is transformed and reinvented. As for storage units, articolated surfaces, hanging on the wall or… walking.

A modular storage space range which contributes to intelligent room configuration; it allows zones to be created and areas divided. Flexible territories emerge in an instant without any great effort and can also be perfectly and easily adapted. It can essentially be used for three basic applications: for zoning areas in open spaces, as a cupboard element on walls and as storage space close to the workstation.
