Design Story

The innovative Kartell Bookshelf Bookworm by Ron Arad combines the flowing creativity of the designer and the technical skills of the manufacturer. The result is an almost sculptural work of functional elegance and a truly unique piece of contemporary storage furniture which has nothing in common with traditionally rigid, conventional shelves. On account of its flexible material and the resulting individual styling possibilities, the Kartell Bookworm is a highlight in every room be that living room, study or bedroom and exudes creativity and dynamism. Whether arranged as a spiral, a wave or as an abstract form, the Bookworm bookshelf literally steps out of line. The company Kartell, which can look back on over five decades of experience in plastics, has a particular focus on the production of designer furniture and of producing design objects defined by their individuality and character.

The Kartell Bookworm bookshelf is flexible and can be arranged individually
