The bookshelf was also designed to accentuate the objects it held, and give a sense of lightness. Thus, the pieces were kept thin and the amount of joints were kept to a minimum. The flow of the wood grain continues from the angled sections to the horizontal, by use of an angled biscuit joint. To increase its modularity, the rest of the dado joints are held together with removable screws. In addition, the triangular book-rests are made of frosted acrylic so that a light source may be added to create an illuminating effect.
