Designed by Renzo Piano, Teso Bookcase is open on two fronts
with shelves and uprights made of 15mm thick float-glass.
Chromed-plated metal ties. Due to the high-compression
coefficient, the tension makes the bookcase a single-block.
Unique pieces, fundamental furnishing elements that help
to shape the mood of the environments in which they live.
Teso Bookcase is a perfect addition to your modern interior,
with class and elegance. The designer focuses great attention
on creativity and taste of innovation, out of the ordinary,
and with highest care for details both of design and of
functionality.
About the Designer
Renzo Piano was born in Genoa, Italy on September 14th,
1937 and he obtained his degree in 1964 at the Politecnico
University of Milan. As a student, he worked under the
guidance of the designer Franco Albini while also regularly
attending his father's building sites where he gained
valuable practical experience.
Between 1965 and 1970, he completed his formal educational
and work experiments with study travels to Britain and the
Americas. In 1971 he founded the Piano and Rogers agency
along with Richard Rogers, his partner on the Centre
Pompidou project in Paris. In 1977, he founded L'Atelier
Piano and Rice along with the engineer Peter Rice. He
then founded the Renzo Piano Building Workshop, with offices
in Paris and Genoa. About 100 people worked with him
(architects, engineers, specialist, etc.) in close collaboration
with some associated architects, linked to him by years of
experience.
