Sapiens Bookcase

The Sapiens bookcase by Sintesi is a contemporary space saving idea. Instead of committing to an over-extension of lateral space, why not just use a limited vertical space, and make it elegant? That's the concept behind this book-loving Sapiens bookshelf. Utilizing a tower instead of a conventional wall unit, this sleek and functional designer bookshelf is still able to hold up to 70 books. Great for small spaces or big collections, you can also choose smaller models that hold 35 or 50 books.

Designed by Bruno Rainaldi, the Sapiens bookcase is constructed of a steel tube column, steel sheet shelves, and a steel sheet or glass base. Clean and minimal, a Sapiens bookshelf is a great contemporary example of form following function. Our friends at Sintesi recommend a 2.5 kg (5.5 pound) weight capacity per shelf. (The base is a solid piece of steel and can also hold books.)
