Sendai Crystal is a delicate shelf that fascinates with its floating elegance. The piece of furniture is a redesign of Toyo Ito's famous bookcase, which appears like a sculpture. The original from 2004 is a result of the cooperation between Ito and the Italian furniture brand Horm. Made of glass, solid alder and walnut wood, the designer shelf combines dynamism and calm, flexibility and robustness.
The new version of the shelf has a lighter and open appearance - instead of wood, the 6 shelves are made of glass. This gives the piece of furniture a clearer visual lightness and is reminiscent of bamboo sticks growing towards the sky. 25 wooden segments made of alder and walnut wood, treated with oil, are positioned at different angles and thus create the interesting visible structure. A base made of black painted MDF board is equipped with adjustable feet and gives the structure airiness.
Redesign from 2013
The Korean-born architect was awarded the world's most important award for architecture in 2013 - thePritzker Prizerecognized. His unique style and design philosophy is reflected in all of his creations. The design of Sendai Crystal captures the essence of Sendai Mediatheque in Japan, which is again a design by Ito.
