JOY

 

Bigger variation of Basello, empowering the idea of rotating steps on spiral staircases, designing a completely new object in terms of typology.

The L-shaped shelves increase in height forming a hinging side, attached by load-bearing joints on a single steel shaft (enameled black) that rests on a C-shaped foot, what allows them to be opened out in a spiral or closed flat to save space (96cm wide and 30cm deep). The system makes possible the composition of a multifunctional furniture with in 3-4-5-6-7 shelves that can be set against the wall (from 74cm to 190cm), in a corner, or at the middle of the room as a bookcase, step-ladder, partition, fully equipped desk.

The shelves are out of honeycomb panels, strengthened with a steel angle bar for the stability, faced with ash veneer, painted black or aubergine or in plain parched beechwood (the more recent editions come in reinforced medium-density fiberboard painted with scratch-proof enamel in various colors).
