Umberto, the foldable library

Setting up a library at home these days isn’t all that easy, with us human beings resorting to the use of smaller apartments instead of the lavish adobes used before. However, for those still looking for a quite place to settle down and grab an interesting read, the Umberto design works exceptionally well. In essence a book case that opens up to reveal a seating area and sufficient space to store all your novels, encyclopedias and more, the Umberto was designed for the NWW Design Award. The seating arrangement in this one is comfortable, with the entire concept working as a fold-away room of sorts.
