Trying to generate a library with identity and national (argenitnean) character is the way “Bandoneon Latino”born; proposing an arrangement of books following the shape of the bandoneon bellows, and in the corners of the bookshelf a plywood of acrylic and wood inside, in wich the holes are referring to the classic buttons of this instrument.

We pay attention to details like the engraving of the lira in one corner, a representative symbol of the bandoneon and the alphabet by emphasis on the letter Ñ, wich is not part of the international Latin alphabet but certainly represents us. This is the way “bandoneon latino” was made, reflecting the bandoneon and the tango, both synonyms of argentinean culture.
