Kartell Book Holder BOOKWORM 11 Bookends
The Bookworm bookcase designed by Ron Arad for Kartell in 1994 can be considered one of the most revolutionary design products on an industrial scale. Using extrusion technology, the object assumes the desired shape and guarantees sturdiness as well as functionality. The bookcase comes in three different lengths, 320, 520 and 820 cm with 7, 11 and 18 bookend supports.
It is advisable to attach the bookcase in accordance with the curved lines of its shape to maintain the tension of the material and to increase its load capacity. Before attaching to the wall, it is advisable to mount the bookends which can be positioned anywhere above or below the shelf. Sketch the desired shape on the wall and only then proceed to attach the bookcase to the wall.
Bookworm combines flexibility and high strength allowing a load of about 10 kg per support
Material: batch dyed flame retardant PVC
Dimensions : 5.2m (11 bookends)
Ron Arad
Ron Arad attends the accademy of art in Jerusalem and, in 1974, he settles in London where he quickly develops artistic and cultural interests outside architecture. His work becomes increasingly oriented towards design and non-rhetorical artistic use of materials. In 1981, with Dennis Groves and Caroline Thorman, he set up One Off, the design agency that made its successful debut with a set of tubular steel furniture. As a sculptor and craftsman he produces furniture that is emotional and sensual as well as aggressively light and practical.
