Bottoni Shelf 2004 by Marcel Wanders
Marcel Wanders has managed to create something which is both timeless and functional. Twenty years down the road, me thinks it’ll be ranked up there along with the Barcelona and other classic furniture like the Thonet chair and Corbusier’s chaise longue.
Marcel Wanders has reached the pinnacle of minimalist design with the Bottoni Shelf. The blocky form just invites you to rest it with a no frills display of comfort. The indented shelving at the back is both adds to the design and is very functional. Long have I wished for something that was both good to look at and could fulfill all my needs. I believe that my long quest for excellence is now over. I have found perfection for my modern reception seating needs.
The Bottoni Shelf is not just a piece for display (although it is certainly nice enough to do so). Without sacrificing form for function, Marcel Wanders has created something which in my opinion must be the precedent for years to come. Furniture which is both a pleasure to the senses and useful to us making life easier in that many ways.
The quiet opulence that the Bottoni exudes will change the entire tone of your reception area changing the mood and ‘feel’ of it. This inspired piece goes right to the basics, cutting out all the extra things which do not add value to it making for a perfect addition to your Zen inspired home.
