Aspirations of higher knowledge find a three-dimensional representation in the striking verticality of this tower bookcase, stripped of all non-essential elements. The svelte modular structure, is available in two diameters and in free-standing or wall-mounted versions. It was inspired by Athanasius Kircher’s legendary depiction of the Tower of Babel, and the giant library of the same name in the short story by Jorge Luis Borges.
