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.
