The spatial logic applied to Maronese furniture
The spatial logic consists in organizing the environment through volumes, full and empty spaces, visual paths and well-defined functions. The Maronese company interprets this design approach by transforming furniture into an interior architecture tool.
Double-sided bookcases are in fact not thought of as simple containers, but as “intelligent walls”, capable of articulating the space while maintaining visual continuity and brightness. The gaze and the light filter through the shelves, while the different areas of the house – living, dining or home office – are naturally separated and organised.
Why choose a double-sided bookcase in an open space?
Unlike a traditional wall, a double-sided bookcase allows you to:
- divide without isolating;
- maintain the perception of breadth;
- offer containment accessible from both sides;
- add aesthetic and decorative value;
- integrate LED lighting, closed modules and glass doors.
The Maronese collections, such as “0 Pen” and the custom-made modular solutions, stand out for solid structures, coordinated finishes and contemporary design that can be perfectly integrated into the living area.
How to define functional areas with double-sided bookcases
- Living area: a double-sided bookcase can become the centerpiece of the living room or a perimeter element. On the living side it can accommodate books, decorative objects and TV, while on the opposite side it can integrate containers dedicated to the dining area. This creates a fluid and natural transition between relaxation and conviviality.
- Dining area: a full-height bookcase allows you to elegantly separate the table from the living room, becoming a scenographic backdrop enriched by integrated lighting.
- Home office or reading corner: thanks to Maronese modularity, it is possible to create cozy corners dedicated to smart working or reading without interrupting the continuity of the space.
- Entrance and hallway: in open spaces with direct entrance to the living area, a double-sided bookcase can act as a visual filter and a practical container for jackets, shoes and accessories.
The architectural advantages of Maronese solutions
The Maronese collections apply true interior architecture to furniture thanks to:
- Harmonious proportions: each module is designed according to compositional rules that balance rhythm, symmetry and human scale.
- Stylistic continuity: wood, lacquer, glass and metal details interact with each other, creating coherent and elegant environments.
- Design flexibility: modular systems adapt to the actual dimensions of the home and the needs of those who live there.
- Integrated lighting: the LEDs inserted in the shelves enhance the objects, improve the perception of space and contribute to the atmosphere of the environment.
How to choose the ideal double-sided bookcase
To choose the most suitable double-sided bookcase solution it is important to evaluate:
- size and height of the room;
- style of existing furniture;
- need for containment;
- balance between open and closed modules;
- functions that the library will have to perform.
Careful planning allows you to obtain an orderly, elegant and perfectly functional open space.
Do double-sided bookcases reduce the feeling of space?
On the contrary. Thanks to the voids, the visual transparency and the compositional lightness, the double-sided bookcases keep the perception of the volume open. They define the zones without creating real separations, while improving visual organization and acoustic comfort at the same time.
