Corten Bookcases at NSO Headquarters

Design: Gindi Studio

Project overview

The corten bookcases at the new NSO headquarters are built around arches, like the whole office Gindi Studio designed around a Renaissance idea. They got their colour in our production facility, from a liquid metal coating. The tone is warm and deep, like old rust, and the bookcases look as if they grew out of the building.
