Cartesia is an exceptionally versatile shelving unit that covers all the different possibilities offered by supporting sides systems, from the living room area to every other area in the home. A design that is continually increasing its scope, and one that is equipped with a series of individual elements and container units that have been designed specifically to be integrated with plasma screens and HI-FI accessories, whilst at the same time guaranteeing exclusive aesthetic quality. Its frame is made entirely of extruded aluminium, and the joints between the sides and the shelves cannot be seen: a project that brings together rigorous design and the technological innovation that characterises Rimadesio products.

Thanks to its upper and lower profiles, Cartesia large ensures the chance of conceiving new “open” original solutions.

Just because a symphony is given a modern interpretation doesn’t mean it has to sound discordant at all. Consider studimo in the same way: different-coloured backs, in combination with open and closed sections, can be very, very classic and unobtrusive.
studimo doesn’t have to touch the ceiling to leave an impression. If there’s less space or the architecture requires something that looks like a sideboard but at the same time higher than that, then by all means!
If it really is true that books are sacred – then shouldn’t you really build a cathedral for them? Go ahead! With studimo you can use the entire height of a room down to the last millimetre and give your treasures the right setting. Regardless of height: a movable aluminium ladder will help you reach the top. And if you come over dizzy, help you back down of course.
Birds of a feather flock together but opposites attract. Contrasts that are this appealing are achieved with studimo by using different coloured backs. They look even more interesting in combination with open and closed sections. Incidentally, doors are available in matt and high gloss lacquer, as well as matt and clear glass.
Sometimes something is called for that just stands by and is simply there. If it’s also supposed to look good and be extremely practical – how about going for a studimo sideboard? Here you can see the version with glass sliding doors, which – of course – are also available in other materials and colours.
A rainy Wednesday evening in town. Somewhere a few streets farther on a woman is lying on the carpet in the middle of a phone call. Just around the corner a man sits reading in an armchair. And you? Perhaps you’re all curled up comfortably on your sofa. Perhaps there’s an old detective film playing on television. Perhaps you’ve long since guessed who the murderer is. Perhaps you turn the TV off. Perhaps you enjoy carrying on looking all the same. Perhaps because it has just struck you how really good your living room looks.
They really do exist, these rooms that are just too big. In this case studimo gladly serves as a room divider. With or without a backpanel, with or without doors. But always with the ability to adjust the shelves individually. Even after assembly.
In this picture, books, a television, a games console and the entire series of Desperate Housewives are all hidden: behind sliding doors, which don’t always have to be square but can also be given quite an unobtrusive look. Just the way you like it.
