Speaker-Inspired Shelving

Lloyd Tex Uses Design Codes from Hi-Fi Speakers for its New Bookcase

— May 5, 2022 — Art & Design
Lloyd Tex takes inspiration from hi-fi speakers to create the new Poltrona Frau self-supporting bookcase. The bookcase features semi-transparent technical fabric panels that easily slide on a horizontal track to allow users easy access to its contents. Designed by the French creative Jean-Marie Massaud, the shelving system boasts a sleek aesthetic.

Poltrona Frau's shelving system features changeable geometric patterns due to its modular cubbies. According to the brand, the shelving uses "the most advanced technology [that] comes together with traditional materials such as wood in a delicate balance between different spirits of material." The bookcase uses an interplay of solids and voids to create a dynamic appearance. Consumers can select the fabric color in either light or dark shades.
