Description

Overview

Eur is a children's shelving system, stacking and adjoining, designed by Giulio Iacchetti for Magis in 2013. Elements in expanded polypropylene are stacked and adjoined to compose the shelving, creating a series of superimposed arches. Thanks to its modularity the system can expand endlessly both upwards and sideward.

Construction

Eur is made in expanded polypropylene and comes in one colour. The system has three module types and a foot for module A only, plus a pair of hooks for wall fixing.

Specifications

40 x 30 x 43.5 cm (W x D x H, module A MT550), one colour.

Story

From the Square Colosseum to stacked arches

Eur reminds Giulio Iacchetti expressively of the famous "Square Colosseum", the Civilization Building in the EUR quarter in Rome. The building has clear Rationalistic features and was developed as one of the projects for the 1942 Universal Exposition in Rome, which was never held because of the Second World War.

Arches to stack and adjoin

Eur is "perfect to store books, or to create a space where children can imagine a tower or a castle to play beside." Elements in expanded polypropylene are stacked and adjoined to compose a series of superimposed arches, and the system can grow upwards and sideward without limit.
