Jean Nouvel has designed a brilliant wall structure resolved in a single shelf anchored to the wall or to the ceiling.
Slender steel braces support adjustable shelves that seem to float in the air thanks to invisible support
mechanisms. Trasparency and lightness in space made up of air. Slender steel braces support adjustable
shelves that seem to “magically” float in the air thanks to their invisible support mechanisms.
Completely suspended bookshelf resolved in a single shelf anchored to the wall or to the ceiling with slendersteel braces.
Manufactured and certified to UNI EN 1727/99 “FURNITURE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS” standards.

TIE RODS
Stainless steel.
SUPPORT SHELF(WALL OR CEILING MOUNT)SHELFTIE RODNotes Bookcase with wall attachment system A chemical resin wall-fixing kit is included in the price of the support shelf and supplied for bookcase
installation. This fixing adapts perfectly to solid and perforated walls and various materials (brick, concrete, stone). Minimum required wall thickness
100 mm (4”).
 Bookcase with ceiling attachment system Specific plates for mounting the bookcase to the ceiling are included, but no ceiling-fixing kit is provided,
since the most suitable hardware must be determined on a case-by-case basis according to ceiling structure and type of material. We recommend a careful
preliminary onsite check in order to verify the structural conditions of the ceilings or ceiling slabs before ordering and installing a ceiling-mounted Graduate
bookcase. The dealer is responsible for choosing the most suitable and secure fastening systems for each specific situation, to ensure that the bookcase issafe and that its load capacity conforms to the capacity specified in the catalogue. The shelves, on the rear side, are always configured to accommodate theadjustable spacer and fastener plates for fixing the system to the wall. These elements will be visible if the bookcase is positioned in the centre of the room.
Failure to fasten the shelves to the wall will result in the shelves oscillating back and forth.
 No reductions are possible.
 The tie rods are sold in sets of 4.
