This piece, attributable to the Milanese School of the 1950s and early 1960s, stands out for its free-standing structure and inherent flexibility. Crafted in a warmly grained Teak finish, the bookcase is built around slender vertical uprights that support the modules in a light, airy composition. The base features iconic, tapered, angled stiletto feet, a signature of Italian Mid-Century Modern design. The configuration offers a perfect blend of storage and display: the central body is defined by a refined module of horizontal slatted drawers, flanked by closed compartments with doors and open shelves. This modularity is not only functional, but also reflects the progressive approach to furniture typical of designers such as Franco Albini and Ignazio Gardella. A visually striking piece, ideal for contemporary settings, it adds a touch of design history and sophisticated lightness.

Possibility of extending the bookcase with additional components as shown in the photo, bringing the length of the structure to 323 cm See less
