Phylo

The Phylo bookcase develops microarchitectures designed to separate and contain with lightness and freedom. The painted embossed steel structure, available in white (RAL 9010), black (RAL 9005) and green-grey (RAL 7009), has a square section of 20×20 mm and embodies the distinctive features of modularity and customisation, both in terms of finishes and wall or freestanding compositions. Its versatility allows it to be used in office and contract spaces. Phylo‘s structure gives extraordinary flexibility from a compositional and functional point of view. Available in 5 different heights (46, 84, 122, 160, 198 cm) and with two shelf lengths (40, 80 cm), Phylo allows compositions to be created to suit different needs. The intermediate sides, with double perforations, allow compositions with different heights, creating compositional games that adapt to any environment. There is a choice of three types of shelves: metal, melamine in different finishes and glass. The backs are available in metal or melamine, and there is also a version with a writable mdf panel, white or black, used as a blackboard to make spaces more functional. A wide choice of containers enriches the bookcase: metal trays, available in two lengths, which can be used as plant or object holders, melamine containers available in the open version or with hinged doors, and finally, functional lockers optimal for having a space in which to temporarily store one’s personal items. The lockers are available with standard key lock, with code lock or with RFID locks that can be opened with magnetic cards. Phylo, in the H. 48 cm version, can become a comfortable bench with a soft upholstered cushion, functional to create waiting areas where colour and geometry play a key role. Phylo is a bookcase system with a load-bearing lateral structure. Its original and versatile aesthetic can be used in different office spaces. The heart of the project is represented by the customisation of the shelf and the structural back, which can accommodate panels of different materials. The backs can be fitted randomly on the structure, creating a pleasant movement on the wall, just as the shelves, containers and other accessories form full empty spaces that become functional for storing books and objects. Phylo is the expression of a creative idea based on fluid lightness.
