Description
Wall-mounted structure
Bibliothèque murale is a three-shelf wall bookcase by Pierre Guariche. Its uprights are bronze-lacquered steel, while the shelf supports are brass-lacquered steel.
Glass shelves
This version uses clear embossed laminated glass made from two plates. Ligne Roset states that one face is ribbed lengthwise and the other smooth; crossing the plates creates the square embossed appearance. Overall dimensions are 765 × 220 × 1,180 mm.
Story
