After collaborating on the Origata bench and consolle, Nao Tamura returns to design for Porro with the Ryo bookcase.
A shimmering fifth element within the space, Ryo is composed of long horizontal shelves supported by triangular elements made by folding a single element, together creating open, multifunctional shelving systems for storing books and objects.
The Japanese name “Ryo” (稜) means edge or ridge: the precise line where two planes meet in tension. Symbol of energy and stability, the triangle conveys both lightness and solidity, depending on the viewpoint. Assembled through an interlocking system, with an essential, hardware-free construction, Ryo transcends pure functionality to become a sculptural object, with its aluminum surfaces enhancing the interplay of light and shadow. Through light and color, Ryo articulates the interior with a quiet sense of order, shaping the surrounding environment and creating engaging sensory experiences.
