Lapa is a bookcase in the shape of a large classic parallelepiped, the broken lines of its central separation panel draw the attention, seemingly sculpted from a single piece. It creates a ‘microarchitecture’, in which the inclination of the vertical separation panels in alternating directions instils a kind of dynamic imbalance, with not the slightest sense of unease. Quite the contrary, it seems to find its own rhythm, its own balance, give rise to an impression of perfectly-mastered accomplishment and thus the source of irresistible aesthetic jubilation: the bookcase, essentially an inanimate object, appears to come to life.
The sculptural, monolithic appearance of the piece is emphasised by the plain, satin-finished treatment of the black-stained oak veneer with the elephant-lacquered back panel, or the natural oak finish with the mastic lacquered back panel.
