Vote for Load-It at the 2021 Best of Year Award
It is the time to vote for the iconic Load-it bookcase at 2021 Best of Year Award of the American magazine Interior Design, for the re-issue category.
Designed by the German artist Wolfgang Tolk in 1995 and characterised by protruding shelves that cut through the space, the Load-it bookshelf system is a classic Porro item that has managed to maintain its strong iconic appeal over the years, progressively acquiring new functions and design possibilities. Originally with all-white shelves and back panels, with the surprising visual effect of an invisible bookcases with floating books, it was further enriched by new surfaces derived from Porro's material research. An ingenious project, now enhanced by lighting: the adjustable spotlight with an on-and-off touch system can be placed anywhere along the electrified profile under the shelf thanks to its magnetic connection, illuminating the objects displayed on the shelves in a technical and museum-like way. This year it is presented in the version with steel shelves and wall panels in natural canneté, featuring a succession of horizontal and vertical stripes to create a material picture on the wall that can reach down to the floor and be completed by the suspended top in black-stained hemlock, thus becoming a refined TV area.
