Flat.C
Antonio Citterio
As we all have size requirements in our houses, we need furnishings that despite their size can be positioned in areas of limited space. This is where the concept for Flat.C comes from. Designed to house books and a television as well as all hi-fi accessories in the smallest amount of space possible, it also provides a convenient solution for electrical wiring and arranging the wires in cableways. Flat.C is only 25 cm in depth: the thickness of the shelves and sides has been extremely reduced, and there are no visibly joined parts.
Jack
Michael Anastassiades
Jack is the result of the first collaboration between B&B Italia and Michael Anastassiades. Known for his skills in working with light, the Cypriot designer has designed a modular bookcase system with a striking degree of technological perfection. In its search for the creation of an innovative language, this design challenge revisits and modernises a design classic, the 1950’s room centre bookcase, transforming it into a complement with a clean, essential yet architectural structure. The genius of the piece lies in concealing the engineered supports, including those holding up the laminated shelves, inside the vertical elements with a rounded section made of extruded aluminium and integrated by an exclusive, totally-invisible, floor-ceiling telescopic adjustment system. The system is available in 14 heights, ranging from 220 cm to 324 cm and taking in all measurements in-between, while the shelves are in two lengths, 75 cm and 90 cm, both 30 cm deep. Two are the finishes provided for the vertical elements and shelves for single-colour solutions, chalk white and black, both matt.
Pab
Studio Kairos
It is the result of a very simple idea: a sheet folded in half and restrained by light ties, designed to be used as a bookshelf and top. In time, Pab has become a very successful system, and has grown from the original project into the wide range of configurations and different finishes that make up this year’s current version. Besides the shelf and back panels, a series of storage units and a number of multi-purpose benches are now available. Finishes make up an important part of this identity. The vast choice of finishes and hues, along with the variety of furnishing elements, makes it possible to obtain personalised, made-to-measure solutions.
