System HT in eucalipto mix, moka and eucalipto wood
GEOMETRIC COMPOSITION OF LINES AND VOLUMES
The system of bookcases and equipped walls System is renewed through new functions and refined creative mixes, where the watchword is personalization.
The traditional side-shoulder system is evolving, thanks to new technologies, and its thick grid is thinned out, to give life to real wall tapestries.
In the new System HT compositions, graphic patterns with suggestive materiality are marked by light metal uprights or vertical wooden partitions, highlighted by the diffuse light projected on the bottom, which becomes into ambient lighting integrated in the wall system.
More than 20 woods and 30 lacquered shades offer wide freedom of combination, complemented by glass details and metallic fini-shes: display windows, TV room and storage units are added to the traditional shelves, making each space unique and versatile.
In the studio environment, the new System HT completely rethinks System book-shelving system designed by Piero Lissoni + CRS Porro. By reimagining the traditional side-panel system, the design achieves a visually lighter look by emphasizing long, horizontal shelves with a thickness of 40mm in the new moka metallic lacquer. They are supported by slim moka metallic metal uprights and by a play of eucalyptus wooden partitions, chosen also for the eucalyptus mix backdrop, with irregular arrangement, that create a checkerboard pattern with evocative effects of light and shadow, further enhanced by integrated ambient lighting. Presented as the closing element of the large compartments for the new System HT, the Glide Miru sliding partition in transparent glass perfectly blends not only with the space but also with all Porro’s modular systems.

System HT has totally renovated its construction principle by replacing the structure of the side panel, that turns into a slender upright. The protagonist is the back panel, which creates a real wall covering, also thanks to the selected finish.
The canaletto walnut mix surface is paired with long 40 mm thick moka metallic shelves, moka uprights, a glossy fango lacquered wall unit, a transparent display case, and a play of vertical dividers in canaletto walnut, combining the three functions of a glass cabinet, bookshelf and storage unit for the living area.
In the living area, the new configuration of System HT offers 3 main functions: on the left, the glass cabinet enclosed by new glass doors with a special hinge and fixed only at the top and bottom to the shelves, creating a continuous compartment without any partitions; in the centre, the large compartment that can accommodate large TVs; on the right, a section with a drop-lead door as a containment area. The constructive elements of the composition communicate with each other thanks to the chosen finishes: the new glossy fango color for the back panels perfectly matches the finish of the varnished moka uprights and the 40 mm thickness heat-treated oak shelves and vertical dividers.
