Overview

AVA By Molteni & C.

Collection: Ava

Designer: Foster + Partners

Type: Open divider wooden bookcase with built-in lights

AVA is an open bookcase in eucalyptus wood and back in laser-cut aluminum sheet.‎ The design, featuring a single V-shaped profile, is used here both for the framework and for the bookshelves.‎ As always, the use of innovative technological materials is what defines this project.‎ Structural shelves made of plywood panels, reinforced with aluminium and then folded.‎ The addition of a structural composite material profile, obtained via a process of extrusion by means of traction, allows for maximum load resistance.‎ The design includes LED lamps, housed within the shelves.‎ The outer finish is eucalyptus wood.‎ The back panel is made of a special aluminium sheet featuring a three-dimensional texture achieved with a laser cutter.‎
