claesson koivisto rune: portico


'portico' table and bookshelf


'portico' series by swedish designer-architects claesson koivisto rune consists of a table
and a bookshelf. here the designer draws from the architectural structure of ancient roman
aqueduct arches, paying tribute to their rhythmic repetition and geometry. 'portico' is
living divani's first bookshelf and is part of the firm's recent range expansion project,
seeking to propose increasingly complete interiors.
