A bookcase with Chinese symbolism

The bookcase is one of the most functional pieces of the “Ren” series created by Neri & Hu design office for Poltrona Frau, and named after the Chinese “ren” symbol. Having been created based on the form of the symbol, the design can easily be adapted to different styles because it is a part of a hybrid culture that has emerged with the cooperation between the vision of the Shanghai-based design office and Italian craftsmanship. 

The bookcase has a discreet design language. While its shelves manufactured with birch are covered with leather, the min material of the furniture is Canaletto walnut. The brass used for the book support apparatuses is included as a contemporary nuance. While the brand’s Saddle Extra leather used for the shelves offers the opportunity of customizing your bookcase with its 6 different color options, it also facilitates adaptation to your living space. Owing to the shelves system that enables you to integrate not only your books but also other objects you like, Ren bookcase can be transferred into a modern exposition area.
