Gabrieli e Oscar Burratti’s UNIQUE bookcase achieves its distinctiveness via absence rather than presence.

The above is meant to acknowledge the dramatic impression made by UNIQUE: a spare construction of a simple metal scaffold with piers and structural shelves.

It’s a clean, industrial aesthetic that complements much modern décor. And its relative leanness lets it double as a slick room divider.

Lastly, if more warmth is desired, UNIQUE can do that too, courtesy of an optional textile back and modular wooden cupboards.
