Ready to ShipDesigned by Ron Arad for Kartell, Bookworm is an iconic bookshelf in mass-coloured PVC.
An artist's creativity combined with a great company’s technology results in to a bookcase design of industrial scale that can rightfully be considered the world’s most daring and revolutionary: Bookworm, the flexible bookshelf. A careful analysis of extrusion technology has allowed the creation of a curvy bookcase which assumes any desired shape, without compromising toughness and functionality. Unlimited shapes can be formed, limited only by personal creativity. Available in three different lengths, Bookworm is marked by a serious of bookend supports. Bookworm combines flexibility and superior durability allowing for a load of around 10 kg for each support.
It is advisable to wall-mount the shelf in a curved shape to keep the materials in tension and to increase resistance once loaded.

Ron Arad is an Israeli designer and architect. Born in Tel Aviv in 1951, he studies at Jerusalem Academy of Art and later at the Architectural Association of London. In 1981 he founds with Dennis Groves and Caroline Thorman the One Off production studio and in 1989 founds the Ron Arad Associates architecture and design studio. His design is the result of continuous experimentation and a combination of materials as steel, aluminum, and polyamide.

The designer collaborates with Kartell, Moroso, Magis, Driade, Vitra, Alessi, Cappellini, Cassina and other international famous brands and his works have arrived in the most important worldwide museums and galleries.
