Secret Cubic Shelves Bookcase by Moroso

Design Olafur Eliasson

Moroso presents Secret Cubic Shelves, a modular bookcase designed by Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson. The project stems from a decade-long exploration of geometry and three-dimensional assembly, developed in collaboration with architect Einar Thorsteinn. The base module—an elongated rhomboid formed by rotating two cubes along a diagonal axis according to the golden ratio—has appeared in several of the artist’s works, including Less ego wall (Moderna Museet, 2015), Tempo junction (Fondazione Agnelli, 2017), and How to build a sphere out of cubes (Texas A&M University, 2018).

With its essential aesthetic and structure inspired by hidden geometry, the bookcase features open, lightweight modules designed to expand fluidly through space. The result is both functional and sculptural—perfect for contemporary interiors.
