Red Baron Bookshelf
2018 Red Baron Bookshelf
Piero Lissoni 2018
Based on observation of a detail of an airplane wing, Lissoni has designed Red Baron by Knoll by combining parts that gradually become lighter, tapering into a slender sheet of metal.
Red Baron is a modular bookshelf that focuses on material essence and personalised finishing for a unique touch and look, designed to store and display remarkable collections. The support structure is made with steel posts clad in anodised extruded aluminium, while the shelves have a refined aluminium finish. The parts allow for compositions of different heights and lengths, using modules one meter in width. Red Baron always has a clean, transparent image in terms of form, with a visible, solid structure.
