XM2 bookcase designed by Xavier Matégot and produced by Farjon, France, 1986.
Designed in 1986 by Xavier Matégot, the XM2 bookcase exemplifies a decidedly architectural approach to furniture. Its design boldly showcases the structural elements, transforming construction technique into a true aesthetic language.
The structure is made of folded sheet steel, with perforated uprights and hollow beams, stiffened by a system of steel cables tensioned in a cross pattern. This system ensures perfect stability while giving the whole a remarkable visual lightness. The five glass shelves appear to float within this airy structure, reinforcing the balance between transparency, technical precision, and minimalism.
At the crossroads of industrial design and 1980s minimalism, this bookcase stands out for the purity of its lines and the sophistication of its design, making it a piece that is as functional as it is sculptural.
The set is presented in good vintage condition, with very slight signs of wear consistent with its age.
