Description
Overview
Daniel Rode designed the Omega bookcase as a perfect circle set on a steel base, 200 cm wide and 203 cm high. Its clear glass shelves serve both structural and functional purposes, and the open back makes the objects it holds look as if they float in space.
Construction
The structure is multi-ply wood in a matte Tenax lacquer. The shelves are 12 mm clear tempered glass and the base is steel. This version has no lighting.

Story
A name taken from the Greek alphabet
The Omega bookcase is named after the Greek letter, and its design is as pure as that letter. The piece, with a perfect circle for its outline, embodies majestic simplicity: one circle on a steel base, glass shelves that serve both structural and functional purposes, and an open back that creates the illusion of objects floating in space.
