Inori, 2010
Fiam Italia
Teamwork with Studio ITO Design

Inori in Japanese signifies 'pray', and thus the key element of this library is the vertical shape of our hands - when you receive, give and thank. These hands act like glass containers, to sustain and protect our books and our possessions, it is a intimately 'sacred' personal space. The same person can create different spaces by dynamically altering the compositions of the elements. The versatility and assembly possibilities allow Inori to be utilized as a show-case, display-case, and TV-unit.
