"Suvretta" is a Romansh word (a language spoken in the Engadine region) meaning "above the small forest." Like rows of overlapping trees, the books placed on the green shelves of Suvretta take on a rhythmic vertical and diagonal pattern.
The three dividing elements of the vibrant green Suvretta shelves alternate in an inclined and vertical manner, creating a simple and dynamic composition emphasized by the white background and framed by the decorative plastic laminate with the "Bacterio" texture. This piece has an attribution mark,
I am sure that it is completely authentic and take full responsibility for any authenticity
