LessLess

Totem

Jean Nouvel, 2010

Designed as a tower of immense formal rigour, the LessLess totem is an innovative rotating unit on a fixed base with double opening direction and the appearance of a completely smooth and compact rectangular block.

It has a uniquely concealed door-opening mechanism (rotating and side moving) and is accessible from both sides to make the most of the double depth of the filing units.

Design

Jean Nouvel

Jean Nouvel was born in 1945 in Fumel, France. His approach to design comes from a need to create objects for his own architectures. This approach created the Less table which was produced by Molteni&C. for the headquarters of the Cartier Foundation. The Ateliers Jean Nouvel design activities reflect a desire to develop an "architectural design."
