Книжкова шафа De Rosso SLATE

Bedin's Slate bookcase is constructed from pieces of laminate that have been made into cubic boxes and stacked on top of each other, with longer sections of the material being used to form shelves and a basement.‎  While some of the boxes have been printed with bold, block colours, others feature animated patterns resembling marbling-ink effects.‎ Made of decorative HPL laminate, black Belgian marble and Padouk wood shelves.‎ Limited edition.‎                                                                                                          

«Slate bookcase is built with stone like the walls of the houses on my little village in Corsica.‎ I am an architect who draws furniture like solid, protective, heavy buildings.‎ Shelves are like books.‎ You can read the history of their material in their thickness, like a title:black marble from Belgium, little slightly fluffy laminate and intense colours.‎»

Limited Edition is a project which was strongly desired by Roberto De Rosso.‎ He fully drew some unpublished items, from the records of his company, adding many others created specifically for the occasion.‎
An exciting collection, which varies between re-edited or reinterpreted classics and new designs, that has celebrated more than thirty years of creativity and visionary fantasy.‎ The first series consists of seven pieces and some variations, which are certified in limited edition.‎ It involves five creative people from the international scene - architects, designers and artists - who all have different backgrounds and individual paths different, but in perfect balance by nationality, generation and gender.‎ They are united by the exuberant use of colour applied to the philosophy of De Rosso’s language, which varies between Pop-Art quotes, references to the Alchimia movement and the Memphis style.‎
Amongst other things the family of furnishings covers the areas of the domestic environment, which are perfect in groups as well as individually, with an exhilarating presence.‎ From Martine Bedin’s enigmatic totem bookcase to Richard Hutten’s sculptural seat in five kaleidoscopic variants, to the theme of sideboards and containers interpreted with irony by Paola Navone; from the table covered with allegorical pop graphics of Ugo Nespolo to the zoomorphic shapes of the new pieces by Adam Nathaniel Furman: the hedgehog low table and the monster-chair which is ready to bite whoever sits down.‎ The Limited Editions by De Rosso are dedicated to collectors and design lovers.‎ They constitute an important, out-of-the-ordinary collection, which is unconventional and exclusive, in a perfect union between inventiveness and originality.‎
