Description
The modern bookcase is no different from the traditional bookcase in many ways, reading still holds a sense of wonder and we still consult our favourite magazine in order to keep up with what is current and what we can expect from our future. Whilst the Alfie maintains ties with our ideals of the bookcase from this standpoint, this is no ordinary bookcase and at every angular turn that it takes, it proves to us that the times have changed and that it is probably for the better.
The silhouette of this piece is both undeniably modern and a simply beguiling expression of masterful design. Panels of glass are counterbalanced throughout in an angular ladder formation, creating a sense of climbing skywards and of seemingly impossible balance. The delicacy of the glass as a material, combined with this definitive act of balance is nothing short of jaw-dropping and highlights its singularity. Playing the part of both stand out feature and practical storage, these shelves are a bright and sleek way to present your reading material. If that wasn’t enough, the seemingly simple circular base is also built to revolve, meaning that the piece works around you rather than you working around it.
