The bookcase compartments are finished with satin stainless steel edges and feature diffused LED lighting with a touch control on the armrest.
Optional freestanding divider modules are available, featuring leather-covered shelves with satin stainless steel end caps and angular feet in satin stainless steel rod. The metal parts are available in the selection of satin metallic finishes.
