<strong>S<strong>en</strong>dai</strong> is a true work of art, a piece of<br />
furniture that strikes and shatters any concept<br />
of design. Conceived by the architect Toyo Ito,<br />
<strong>S<strong>en</strong>dai</strong> is a collection that seeks to reflect in<br />
miniature the media library in <strong>S<strong>en</strong>dai</strong>, created<br />
by the artist himself in 2001. The common<br />
elem<strong>en</strong>ts are the irregular columns, which<br />
create the illusion of extreme lightness and<br />
fragility. The flexibility and movem<strong>en</strong>t of the<br />
uprights contrast with shelves with a strong<br />
visual impact.

Movem<strong>en</strong>t<br />
and flexibility<br />
with emotional<br />
power.<br />
<strong>S<strong>en</strong>dai</strong> is made up of six aluminium shelves joined through<br />
solid wood turnings, all differ<strong>en</strong>t from each other in<br />
inclination and sections. Light bounces and reflects off the<br />
shelves, creating a play of movem<strong>en</strong>t and <strong>en</strong>hancing the<br />
geometry and volumes of the furniture.

<strong>S<strong>en</strong>dai</strong>: the<br />
sculptural<br />
bookcase that<br />
dialogues<br />
with its<br />
surroundings.<br />
Much more than a simple piece of furniture, <strong>S<strong>en</strong>dai</strong><br />
is a sculpture-bookcase that <strong>en</strong>capsulates a truly<br />
ori<strong>en</strong>tal philosophy of interaction with its surroundings.<br />

Manipulation, flexibility and movem<strong>en</strong>t, the three key<br />
words of Toyo Ito's constructive thinking are reflected in<br />
this icon of modern design.
