Bookcase

INSPIRATION:
The lightness of spirit and joy of life of the 60's were the inspiration to capture in this interactive way to store books, decorating with color and design any room, providing a piece of functional, modern-retro art. The legs provide a sense of surprise and an astonishment sensation, that take us back to the cubism movement.

UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
In addition to the lines and joy of the 60's influence, this bookcase has 3 sliding doors that can be customized, with different glass colors to choose from, the doors are built with a wooden base and a 6mm front laminated glass 9 different vivid colors to choose from, so there is one for every taste or purpose.

OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION:
This piece has three sliding doors, each covering less than one-third of the horizontal area, allowing users to move them suiting styles, moods, books arrangement and more. This is a very useful furniture but also fun and interesting, certainly a foolproof accent to any room.

PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION:
The development of this design took 16 weeks, taking into account the study of appropriate fittings and sliding and a practical system of doors replacements (to change colors). Designed and developed in the laboratory of design and prototyping in Merida, Yucatán, México.

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY:
Made of red oak solid wood (red oak) and plywood, this piece is a mix of warm wood tones and a warm white that can be combined with almost any color. The doors are constructed with laminated glass on a wooden base with an aluminum mechanism rail hidden inside the wood, and a mechanism for removal and installation of the doors makes it easy and reliable. Built with high-tech Italian machinery.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT:
Based on a psychological study of attitudes caused by a visual environment, this is an interactive piece of furniture that you can customize, changing the position of the sliding doors very easily and quickly, allowing a slightly change the space at any moment.

CHALLENGE:
The construction of the elements needed to achieve the feeling of three floating structures (in space and time), and also needed to have the necessary strength to resist for years. This took a lot of engineering structures prototypes; at the same time, it was designed to have a production with efficient use of materials.
