Tako
Setsu e Shinobu ITO + Leonardo Mercurio
Description
The Tako Bookcase, named after the Japanese word for “kite,” embodies lightness, movement, and freedom—qualities reflected in its sleek, essential design. Crafted to enhance spatial fluidity, Tako features a gracefully curved solid wood structure, masterfully shaped to achieve a natural and understated elegance.
The shelves, clad in luxurious Nabuk leather, introduce a tactile and visual contrast, adding a refined touch to the bookcase’s minimalist form. This fusion of materials makes Tako a truly unique piece, seamlessly blending functionality with sophistication. The dynamically arranged shelves along the inclined frame evoke the flight of a kite suspended in midair, providing the perfect surfaces for displaying books, decorative objects, or plants.
With its visual lightness and structural solidity, the Tako Bookcase is more than just a functional furnishing element—it is a symbol of harmony and contemporary design, transforming any space into an environment of elegance and modernity.
