RAPHAEL bookshelf09. Nov2012
RAPHAEL is a playful bookshelf. The shelves are the background for the moving ladder and the small cabinet which hides behind its door four little drawers and a small shelf space for storage.
Using dark colour for backgrounds and orange for single unique elements creates a powerful contrast for the dinamic composition formed by the ladder, the rail and the cabinet.
