The structure is crafted in polished chrome with brass accents, framing smoked glass shelves arranged across multiple levels.

Interlocking rectangular elements create a dynamic architectural rhythm, transforming the piece into both a functional storage unit and a visual statement. The contrast between reflective chrome, warm brass detailing, and dark glass surfaces emphasizes depth and movement, hallmarks of Rega’s glamorous modernist vocabulary.

Both elegant and graphic, this library works beautifully as a room divider or statement shelving system, embodying the sophisticated, high-contrast aesthetic of Italian design in the 1970s. See less
