The Bookworm bookshelf is en emblematic design object, and a rare example of a flexible and curved book-storage facility.

Ron Arad, its creator and a leading figure in contemporary design, expresses himself in this documentary, which looks at the history of this most original piece of furniture.
The choice of the Bookworm posits in particular a fundamental question, that of our bookshelves' role in our lives, and also of the passing on of knowledge through writings, the traditional cornerstone of collective memory.
