Story
Thicknesses in play
The Carson bookcase is built on the interplay of different thicknesses, thinner for the sides and thicker for the shelves. The result is an essential, modern look, and the finishes of the materials highlight its clean lines.
A bookcase that divides
The back of Carson is perfectly finished, so the piece can also be used as a dividing element within the same room.
