Aero Bookcase is a freestanding bookcase inspired by the airplanes of the 1920s. The legs and the main structure follow curved lines that recall early aviation and the organic style of that period. The frame is made of solid Tzalam wood, and the shelves combine laminated natural oak with colored laminated glass. The inverted curved wooden shelves keep books close to one another. The glass shelves hold books or ornaments, and the tinted glass reflects colored light into the room. The surfaces are finished with six layers of polyurethane.
