shaul cohen: armour bearer bookcase

‘armour-bearer bookcase’ by shaul cohen

tel aviv-based industrial designer shaul cohen has conceived a bookcase that incorporates a 3D molded aluminium soldier as the support leg of wooden shelving unit. influenced by a poem from s.tchernichovsky which talked about an armour-bearer who carried his king at the battlefield, the project reflects on a similar relationship between king and his loyal assistants during war.
