Constructed of overlapping glass boxes, some with luminous tints, Piero Lissoni’s eye-catching Quantum Bookshelf (2018) channels the DNA of contemporary architecture into a graphic bookcase. Made from extra-light yet durable tempered glass, its boxes are joined together by barely visible chromed metal joints and supported by an elegant solid oak base. Lissoni describes his approach to design as “clean and silent,” with an allowance for a touch of “noise.” This is exemplified in Quantum’s precise yet deliberately staggered compartments, which create a bold structure with distinctive character. Made in Italy.
