Molteni Bookstore Grid, get inspired
Within the world of modular bookcases, which are increasingly sought-after and in vogue, the Grid project developed for Molteni by Vincent Van Duysen takes the concept of flexibility to extremes, offering countless solutions to enhance the home environment thanks to a design that, while evolving according to configurations and needs, always remains contemporary.
As is often the case in the projects he curates, Van Duysen once again develops a piece of furniture imbued with great architectural consciousness, a direct result of the Belgian designer’s work experience.
Grid by Molteni
in fact represents, in some ways, the evolution of the typical wall-mounted bookcase, which aims to make even smarter use of home spaces and integrate the latest technological innovations.
The starting point from which Grid was created is a simple wall-fixed paneling, which is in fact an open system that allows for the creation of a modular grid whose components, to be chosen from a wide range of options by Molteni, will depend first and foremost on the user’s needs.
Molteni Grid Bookcase the Concept
Translated into Italian as “grid,” the name of Molteni’s Grid modular bookcase already helps to understand the concept Vincent Van Duysen worked on to achieve an unparalleled mix of flexibility, modernity and technology.
In fact, the designer’s ultimate goal was to create an open, fully customizable system that would allow a few simple elements to be combined to create an infinite number of different solutions.
Simplicity is the inescapable basis for achieving more complex results, which is why the paneling made of folding and fixed to the wall of Grid represents a kind of “blank canvas” on which to make compositions that are as creative as they are functional, given the possibility of choosing from various elements that lend themselves to a multitude of uses, depending on what you want to place on the shelves of the bookcase: photos, books, precious objects or simple mementos, each of these objects will find in Grid the context in which to exalt themselves.
Molteni Modular Bookcase : The Features
As a modular bookcase, the nature of Grid by Molteni is changeable and so are its features, some of which may change according to needs.
Regardless of the configurations chosen, however, what does not change is the wall-mounted paneling that forms the basis of the entire system and can be equipped with LED lights at the top as well as in the middle, emphasizing the most beautiful and important objects through illumination.
This is not the only state-of-the-art component of a library that is inherently modern and also winks at technology with other solutions available upon request, such as the integration of connection systems to various devices or a tray equipped with a wireless charging module for one’s smartphone.
Thanks in part to these technological features, Grid offers a perception that goes beyond the actual space it occupies by bonding with its surroundings.
Classic shelves, showcases, display cases or displays can be attached to the wall-mounted base, which in the upper part of the bookcase enhances compositional freedom, encouraging you to find the best and most useful configuration. Among the options Molteni has also added a new open or closed wall unit, equipped in the latter case with glass side shoulders with aluminum profile, which can be upholstered in fabric or leather.
To embellish the shelves or make the arrangement of objects even more original, there are also regenerated leather dividers, suspended or floor-standing containers to be integrated into the lower part of Grid, or trays with Ecoskin bottoms.
In keeping with the tradition for every piece of Molteni furniture, functionality and technological research go hand in hand with design and aesthetics for this modular bookcase by Van Duysen, which can also be customized by playing with the combinations of the different finishes available: after Eucalyptus and Graphite Oak, the wood is expanded to include Walnut; copper, pewter and dove gray, on the other hand, are the finishes in which to decline the bookcase’s matte and glossy colors.
