The present configuration includes four square modules, two tops and two sets of wheels, allowing flexible arrangements depending on space and use.

Each module features the characteristic rounded edges and recessed openings that define Ferrieri’s approach to modular furniture. Produced in black ABS plastic, the units illustrate the experimentation with industrial materials that shaped Italian design during the Space Age period.

The system can be configured as two separate storage units, stacked towers, or compact mobile trolleys. This adaptability was central to Ferrieri’s design philosophy, which aimed to create functional objects capable of responding to evolving domestic needs.

The modules are preserved in very good vintage condition, showing scattered signs of use on the plastic surfaces and tops. This piece has an attribution mark,
