Functionality, playfulness, adaptability, simplicity and lightness are the main features of the new wall system conceived by the architect Massimo Mariani. Novae is a bookshelf built around two main components: the horizontal plane that defines the function and the vertical one which constitutes the structural support. The horizontal element is a reworking of the concept of shelf which is multiplied and superimposed at close range with the possibility of continuous repositioning along its own sliding track. The shelves can then mix to generate more compressed or more rarefied spaces and moving around the big and small objects they carry can be adapted to every need. The vertical element is the structural background, the space, the limit over which the boards can float freely, the playing field for endless moves and combinations. The presence of accessory boxes of various sizes completes the functionality of the bookshelf and transforms Novae into an actual universal modular system. Novae is a product easy to use and understand, with a recognizable personality but a look which is different every time.
