    Kartell Adam Wood Shelving by Philippe Starck

    he Kartell Adam Wood Shelving system in one of a series of revolutionary furniture products designed by Philippe Starck using 'Smart Wood'. This versatile bookcase/ shelving system is uses an intelligent combination of steel struts onto which 'smart wood' shelves are mounted. Unlike other wooden shelves, Adam Wood features uniquely curved wooden shelves which gives each composition its distinctive personality. Whilst available in set compositions, shelves can be arranged and the desired height to create the arrangement of your choice

    What is 'Smart Wood'? Smart Wood is the fusion of one of life's boldest and basic furniture construction materials fused with technological know how. With patented technology a fine layer of wood is worked with a mould, designed to provide curvature of the wooden panel to the edges to create a shape of unprecedented roundness. In this way the beauty of the wood is enhanced - bent horizontally and vertically in three dimensions to create welcoming curves to ensure maximum comfort. This practice is part of the 'Kartell Loves The Planet' philosophy - aimed at enhancing good practices for sustainability throughout the production process in the use of raw materials, coupled with low environmental impact.

    Material : Curved wood, techno polymer supports, painted steel support struts

    5 Shelves : H: 215cm; W: 99cm; D: 32cm
