paris-based designer adrien de melo has developed ‘upside down’, a library designed for espace culturel louis vuitton, edited by galerie BSL, paris. de melo’s shelving system is comprised of 10 translucent inflatable modules suspended in 5 columns. the shelves have been created in several dimensions– modules of 350mm or 250mm x 450mm. the library is supported by stainless steel framework detailing each edge of the box-like shelves. the cubes are then suspended by lifting straps, remaining in place by strategic placement of maintenance pins.
