REK is a bookcase that grows with your book collection. The more books the bigger the bookcase gets. The zigzag shaped parts slide in and out to accomodate books in the resulting voids, creating an intriguing visual pattern. REK is nearly two meters high and it can become about 2,2 meters wide. It will always be full, regardless of the quantity of books. Also the books can be arranged according to their sizes. The narrow spaces are excellent for magazines. Shape, function and aesthetics of REK bookcase integrate and communicate directly to people.
