MODEL OPTIONS:
Sundial Bookcase by Kartell. A bookcase with shelving featuring a series of satin-finished or transparent dividers set at slightly different angles like the shadows of a sundial. The detail in the separators set at various slants gives Sundial a note of originality and arouses curiosity. To the eyes of the beholder,the dividers and the books they hold look as if they are in constant evolution. Sundial is available with a glossy white or black frame and has four shelves. This light and versatile bookcase is of moderate size so that several units can be lined up together and easily be set against a wall or used as a room divider. The injection-molded dividers are satin-finished or transparent with contrastingly glossy edges. Sundial Bookcase by Kartell are designed by Nendo.
Kartell was founded in Milan in 1949 by chemical engineer Giulio Castelli with the conviction that industrial polymer technology could produce objects of lasting aesthetic and cultural value. The company's history is a series of manufacturing firsts: the first injection-moulded plastic storage unit (Anna Castelli Ferrieri's Componibili, 1969); the first chair produced from a single polycarbonate mould; Philippe Starck's Louis Ghost (2002), which reinterpreted a Louis XVI fauteuil in transparent polycarbonate and became one of the most sold chairs in design history. The Masters chair by Philippe Starck (2009) layers the silhouettes of the Eames DSR, Saarinen Tulip and Jacobsen Series 7 into a single polycarbonate shell - a piece of design history that is also a piece of design commentary.
