EDIPO BOOKCASE

Modular Bookcase, Driade, EDIPO BOOKCASE, Nicola De Ponti, 2010. Modular bookcase in white lacquered mdf, composed  by:

base, structure, additional modules (A or B) in lacquered red. Dimensions:Structure W. 109 D. 30 H. 109; submodules W. 34,6 D. 34,6 H. 28,8; base D.109 W. 30 H. 4.EDIPO is still a modular piece of furniture, but it belongs to the new generation. Indeed, the time when “modulars” had to create infinite systems of variants is over. Here one works with a single piece: a large square module measuring 109 by 109 centimetres that accommodates square sub-modules on the inside. The non-diversified grid, lacquered opaque white, is designed to hold “space modulators”, or “possibility generators”, in other words sub-modules lacquered glossy red that subdivide and specialize the empty space. Furthermore, as well as the variation produced by inserting the submodules, the entire bookcase can be turned on each of its four sides, thus modifying, by default, the configuration and progressively making what was horizontal become vertical.
