Sendai Crystal Bookcase
by Toyo Ito for Horm
The Sendai Crystal bookcase is dramatic and utterly vivid with its play on contrast and organic immersion. Nature-inspired, the bookcase brings the outdoors into your living area. The strong and sturdy shelves hold your library and pieces of contemporary decor on display in style. With contrasting finishes, it creates a vibrant juxtaposition for an eye-catching touch. Not only is this a practical storage and display solution but a sculptural focal point in the area.
Manufactured in Italy by Horm and designed by the infamous Toyo Ito, the Sendai bookcase features a structure composed of twenty-five turned wood elements with MDF shelves veneered glass shelves in smoked, bronze, or clear. Sendai's connecting elements are made from solid alder and walnut, treated with oil. It is available in five sizes.

Customer Reviews
We are currently reassembling after a remodel and it is as nightmarish as I remembered. The instructions are minimal (but follow them carefully). The posts should be screwed down so they are at the angle in the drawing with the laminations perpendicular to the face of the shelving (this is the main clue you have them aligned correctly for the next shelf). The primary variable is the continuously threaded bolts. They are spinning at both ends as the posts are threaded on and arriving at a good tension level with the posts aligned for the next glass holes is hit or miss. Some I just cannot get to the right position and I have settled for a looser fit than I prefer.
Our hope is to be dead by the time a need arises to take them down and reassemble.
