A book is a portal that allows you to access fantastic worlds and escape from everyday life; it also can be a valuable training tool, through which you can always learn something new. Often jealously guarded by those who read it, a book finds his refuge in bookcases. Not only design elements, but real containers of stories and objects, just like Socrate, the bookshelf created by Caimi.

Facilitating the organization of books and objects is the main function of Socrate, a modular system of bookcases with a metal structure. It is characterized by an extreme flexibility of composition, suitable to meet different needs, both in terms of space and style.

Created by Caimi, since 1949 one of the main European production companies in the furniture sector, with a particular vocation to research and to protect the invention, the bookcase stands out for its particular design. The microperforated shelves facilitate air circulation by improving the ventilation of books and thus reducing the dangerous formation of humidity, allowing our precious reading objects not to get damaged and remain intact over time.
Socrate is also a multifunctional system: by modulating the steel shelves at will, the structure can be used to contain objects of various types, sometimes becoming a practical wardrobe.
Socrate is the modular and multifunctional design object that we have chosen for Superstudio Maxi.
