A modular bookcase<\/a> born from an iconic project designed by designer Pierre Paulin: Elys\u00e9e by Magis<\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The brand, known for creating products that are as highly aesthetic as they are functional, presents the Elys\u00e9e shelving system \u2013 a bookshelf that can be stacked and joined to fit the space and lifestyle of its environment.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The concept of this bookshelf lies with the late famous designer Pierre Paulin<\/strong> who was commissioned in 1971 to fit areas within the private apartments of President Pompidou at the Elys\u00e9e Palace<\/strong>. Here, Paulin created the concept for a smoked methacrylate shelving system. Paulin\u2019s work in the apartments changed the French design scene at the time, imbuing it with a fresh, new air.<\/p>\n\n\n

The line of accessories includes a bookcase that will constitute, thirty years later, the starting point for the project of the modular bookcase Elys\u00e9e<\/strong>, developed by the designer together with Magis, thanks to the fruitful collaboration began in 2001 and that gave rise to the Flower armchair and, indeed, to Elys\u00e9e.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a background in stone sculpture and clay modeling, Pierre Paulin<\/strong> (1927-2009) made his debut in the world of design in the 1950s, soon becoming known for his iconic and innovative projects.<\/strong> He is one of the few designers in the world who – from the 1950s to today – has never stopped being a true icon of modernity.<\/p>\n\n\n\r\n
