Makai is a contemporary bookcase inspired by the fluid lines of surfboards. This reference is translated into a structure of soft, continuous shapes, in which wood follows the movement of the design while retaining its natural identity.

The bookcase is made from birch plywood, skilfully finished by hand. The handcrafted process creates smooth, dense surfaces and highlights the natural character of the wood, revealing subtle variations that make each piece different.

The lines follow a fluid course, free from the rigidity of an orthogonal grid. Shelves and structure appear to follow the same movement, giving the bookcase a continuous presence, almost as though drawn along a trajectory.

Birch brings natural brightness and a restrained surface character to the composition. The hand finishing of the surfaces and joints enhances contact with the material, revealing HESSENTIA’s care and precision in every detail.

Dimensions can be customised on request, allowing Makai to suit different settings and design requirements. The shape thus keeps its identity even in different sizes.

Makai interprets HESSENTIA’s exploration of the contemporary bookcase through wood, curves and handcraftsmanship, transforming the surfboard reference into a light, dynamic structure that introduces a sense of movement into the ambience.

HESSENTIA can customize this piece to suit your project needs. Some limitations apply.
