AVA
Foster + PartnersShelving in aluminum -black or natural- can be hung on the wall and the ceiling. The shelves are made of MDF covered with a 1 mm thick aluminum panel; the edges are made of birch plywood. A depth of 35cm can have different options in terms of width W100, W200, W300, and other opportunities in height.
The unique V-profile design is used for both the frame and the shelves of the bookcase. As always the use of technological materials characterizes this project. Structural shelves are composed of multilayer panels, reinforced with aluminum and modeled in folding. The addition of a profile in structural composite material, made through a process of extrusion by traction, allows for achieving maximum resistance to loads. AVA incorporates led lights into the shelves. The external finish is in eucalyptus wood. The back is made using a special aluminum sheet characterized by a three-dimensional texture achieved by laser cutting.
