Ring
Ring is a bookshelf inspired by the golden ratio and by the Vitruvian Man of Leonardo da Vinci. A metal sheet is bent by hand into a circle and fixed to a solid wooden base. Brass rods are placed at equal distances on the base and form the square that completes the golden ratio outline. The rods pass through holes in three of the five shelves, while the two other shelves rest on bent rods. Ring can stand against a wall or divide two areas of a room. The design is intended as a keeper of knowledge.
