The pictorial element comes to the fore in the Pluteo bookcase thanks to the hand-painted back panel in wood that draws in the viewer. Part of the New Pompeii furniture series, the sumptuous, blue/green-toned acrylic paint seemingly depicts a vivid fragment of the past. Topped off with a high-gloss finish, the vivid color scheme contrasts with the dark, sober frame in steel and shelves in glass.
