Description

The Bookworm by Kartell, designed by Ron Arad, is more than just a bookshelf—it's a bold expression of creativity, function, and design freedom. One of Kartell’s most iconic pieces, the Bookworm transforms the traditional shelf into a sculptural, flexible form that adapts to your vision.

Crafted from durable, batch-dyed fire-retardant PVC, this unique shelf is highly flexible yet incredibly strong, allowing you to bend and shape it into waves, curves, or straight lines—without compromising stability. Whether you're storing books, displaying art, or creating a statement wall, the Bookworm delivers unmatched visual impact and practical storage.

Available in three lengths with 7, 11, or 17 bookends, it’s offered in a range of contemporary colors.Each support holds up to 10 kg (22 lbs), combining artistic freedom with everyday functionality.
