Italy, 2023
Painted metal, wood high-gloss finishing, tempered glass
The Pluteo bookcase places the pictorial element at its heart, drawing the viewer’s gaze with a striking hand- painted wooden back panel. Rendered in sumptuous blue and green tones, the acrylic paint evokes a vivid fragment of history, as if capturing a fleeting memory or a glimpse into the past. This rich, layered backdrop is brought to life beneath a polished high-gloss finish that enhances its depth and vibrancy. In contrast, the bookcase’s dark, understated steel frame and sleek glass shelves provide a modern, minimalist setting that perfectly balances the expressive artwork behind.
