Karnak Illuminated Bookcase by James Hong, comprised of four separately illuminated shelves, and built-in outlets.

James Hong is among the earliest members of the downtown artist-designer scene that congealed around Art et Industrie, the forward-thinking gallery founded in 1977 by Rick Kaufmann and Tracy Rust.
