Description
The vertical structure, made of melamine-coated panels clad in saddle leather or leather, unfolds as a disciplined sequence of uprights enriched by chromed steel bands that add a subtle note of brilliance and sophistication. The veneered wooden shelves are inserted with geometric accuracy between the structural elements, offering surfaces ready to host objects, books, and personal narratives. The ability to freely configure the internal composition—with the addition of shelves, dividers, or storage units—transforms Elle into a dynamic piece, fully attuned to the rhythms and variations of contemporary living. What truly distinguishes Elle, however, is its narrative potential: the ability to be placed either against a wall or as a freestanding centerpiece, adapting to the spatial context while remaining loyal to its formal identity. The combination of fine materials—such as Macassar ebony, striped Canaletto walnut, or dark oak—with leather finishes and metallic elements lends the piece a refined materiality and a tactile soul, embodying the craftsmanship heritage of i4 Mariani at its finest. Elle is not merely a bookcase, but an architectural statement, a design gesture that channels modern thought through the tangible elegance of an open, functional, and graceful form. A piece that not only inhabits a space—it interprets it.
