Designer Mauro Canfori is probably best known for his work with colleague Emanuela Destro and the collaboration they call Teracrea. The objective was to create new paradigms for interior landscaping, or "to introduce greenery into internal architecture and offer new solutions to traditional pots for outdoor plants." In their efforts to work with containers of materials besides terracotta, they enlisted the services of none other than The Bouroullecs, the Campanas, and Konstantin Grcic, among others. Canfori's latest endeavor is a different kind of indoor adornment, but no less auspicious, and one nearer and dearer to my heart, in fact: TEEbooks is a simple shelving system that lets you line your walls with books in all sorts of unconventional arrangements. Any shelves facilitating library configurations like "Sym©trique," "Grande Mixte," and "Lin©aire" are sure to be on any bibliophiles watch list.

The genius of TEEbooks is that the shelves allow horizontal and vertical expansion via an interlocking modular system of asymmetrical units. Horizontal shelves connect with "L" or "T" shapes (they're actually closer to an "F" without the top line), which enables the deceptively precarious look of a tower of books-ascending the wall like the sight line on a skyscraper. The structure of the shelves remains hidden behind the displayed books, creating the logorrheic illusion of books and nothing but books upon your walls: criss-crossing like intersecting streets with "Chicane," arranged in a perfectly symmetrical suspension of disbelief with "Judd," or inscribed on the wall as an arcane spiritual symbology with "Double Croix."

Another option with TEEbooks is to forge a perfectly conventional pattern-minimalist and spare as in "Buren," or shabbily chic as shown by "Lin©aire." Canfori designed the concept with versatility in mind. So whether you prefer to eschew art in favor of a mural-sized picture in books, or use the birch plywood and metal shelving to complement your reading tastes as well as your assorted knick-knackery, Teebooks has the look you're after.
