(Archive) PIANI - circular, light, convertible

PIANI is a clearly designed storage space, sustainable and made for the future in circularity.

This project was part of DDW 2023

BFGF Design Studios developed a shelf system made of mono-materials that does not require the usual panel materials. PIANI is made of solid wood and designed to easily dis- and reassemble. The countless customization options with circular designed inserts ensure long-term, even timeless use.

CIRCULAR

The shelf system is made entirely of untreated ash wood, except for the easily removable metal feet. Since solid wood is a valuable resource, thin yet extremely sturdy slats are deliberately incorporated. Due to the well thought-out plug-in system, the shelf manages without a single screw.

LIGHT

Easy to assemble and disassemble, as well as to transport, the shelf also impresses with its delicate and shapely appearance and easy handling with a very good stability.

CONVERTIBLE > OPEN FOR NEW RESOURCES

The changeability lies in the clear separation of frame and inserts. The inserts, in turn, can be easily exchanged according to the respective life situation. In just a few steps, the bookcase becomes a kitchen shelf or a sideboard and is thus durable and open for all individual uses.
