The elegance of subtraction exemplifies the Braidense bookcase whose aesthetic austerity, premium materials and fine artisan craftsmanship come together in perfect balance. The wood structure, with its reassuring thickness, conveys a sense of solidity and presence, while the display compartments in bent sheet metal disrupt the symmetry of the shelves, creating a sophisticated interplay of textural contrasts. A minimalist, almost austere graphic signature that, in the quality of the finishes and carefully engineered proportions, finds its highest expression. Braidense – a tribute to Milan and to its historic Braidense National Library, keeper of knowledge and beauty – is designed to make space for culture, embracing books and objects in a dynamic, refined system. The collection comprises three independent modules, designed to fit comfortably in any room in the home. The selection of types of wood available for the veneered structure and the many finishes for the metal parts expand its expressive potential. Free-standing and finished on both sides, the bookcase also becomes an elegant room divider, able to organize the space with taste and personality.
