JAMAIS CONTENT || New Bookcase by Bottega Ghianda Designed by Marc Ferrand

There is no better feeling than the feeling of being surrounded by literature.

This is what makes the new Jamais Content Bookcase stand out for us. The modular system made of natural citronnier, a wood in soft and warm shades, with brass details is akin to having your own hideaway within the home for you to savour every page of your latest read undisturbed.

The circular design gives lets you surround yourself with your favourite books and collectibles on the beautiful shelving.

Designer Marc Ferrand has emphasized the intrinsic movement of the structure, characterized by shelves available in different shapes: square, rectangular, trapezoidal, terminal and angular, which open up several architectural solutions: circular, semicircular, curved, angular or rectilinear.

The vertical and horizontal wooden elements are assembled by cross-shaped profiles, in finely brushed brass. The brass profile, mechanically extruded and specially made for this project, allows the assembly of the various geometric components of the shelving units.

The bookcase can be accessorized with leather doors, creating cabinets in one or more niches through an alternating game of voids and solids. 

You're in luck if you hope to add the Jamais Content Bookcase to your home. The structure of this architecture-like piece of furniture is modelled according to the client's preferences and needs. It could adapt to any kind of space by developing it as a tailored project.

Jamis Content was presented during the Milan Design Week 2022 and is still displayed in the Via Pisoni 2 Milan showroom.
