A graphic bookcase

Molteni&C describes Card as a bookcase in which Anastassiades focuses on clean graphic lines and carefully chosen details, and says its material pairing is typical of his work. It sets the marble shelf against the wood.

The joint

The page singles out the triangular brass joint between the parts as a decorative detail.
