Upside Down by Adrien De Melo

Edited by Galerie BSL, and a special commission from the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton, Upside Down by young French designer Adrien De Melo is a landscape of suspended books, resembling a music score. Each piece is made of stainless steel frames covered with translucent polyurethane inflated cushions and hung using straps. Construct your own ideal floating bookcase using the five base modules.

Edited by Galerie BSL to eight examples and one prototype, Upside Down is, originally, a commission from Louis Vuitton Malletier to equip the Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton (60 rue Bassano Paris 8th) where it will be definitively installed from February 2011.

The bookcase will be presented for the first time at the next edition of Meet My Project at Lieu du Design, 74 Rue du Faubourg Saint-Antoine (Paris 12th) from January 21-25, 2011.
