The project
A familiar stack of books becomes a piece of furniture with storage. Archicercle designed and made this table as an in-house project, driven by an interest in experimenting with materials, mechanisms and forms.
The composition recreates a stack of books on a large scale. Its volumes incorporate drawers that are revealed when moved, adding storage to the elements that give the table its distinctive appearance.
The book spines are formed in curved wood, combined with coverings in different leathers. Surfaces that evoke pages complete the reference to books, while a base with classic-style legs supports the piece.
The studio undertook both the design and manufacture. Rather than responding to an external commission, the project brought an idea of our own into use as a functional piece, exploring the relationship between a recognisable form and the mechanisms integrated within it.
