CB2's Hancock Bookcase

First, we have to say we love the lobster red color CB2 is showing off in the photo up top. And center stage is taken by the new Hancock Bookcase, named for the sky scraper in Chicago...

The shelf is indeed techtonic, with those cross braces across the back and the unit's powder coated metal members. Standing just over six feet tall, the Hancock Bookcase has four shelves that'll display or store your goods in style. Sells for $200 at CB2.

Just a correction here. This shelf is architectonic, but not tectonic, I'm afriad. There's a huge difference. Architectonics is a reference to structure and craft and techne. Tectonics, on the other land, is a much more complicated affair. It refers to the haptic and is inherently experiential. It is architecture's ability to create shadows within spaces...a dialogue of light and dark.

I love how the cross-bracing mirrors the design on the tower.

With the exception of the addition of the cross braces, it seems remarkably like the ikea Lerberg shelving unit, only 10 times more expensive.

Seems CB2 is taking a cue from Banana Republic/Gap and pushing a new and horrid color scheme each season.
