Empty inches and square meters that could be filled with beautiful design—but for some reason just never were. Due to this thinking he did many designs intended specifically for the corners of the home. Lungangolo is one of those. Lungangolo is a multi-use piece of furniture originally produced by bernini. The frame is made of four slender pillars with square cross-sec-tions in between to support the square shelves placed in various heights. The structure is strengthened by a drawer and a side piece. The position of the drawer and elimination of part of the support meant it had to be manufactured in two versions—to work for both left and right handed. "if i have to choose one word about achille – curiosity. I grew up with a man who was very, very playful. Curiosity is linked to toys, curiosity is linked to other people, other countries, other mentalities. If you are curious you can remain young." product material solid and veneered oak treated with natural oil or black oil measurements height 225 cm width 36 cm depth 36 cm general specifications enviroment indoor requires assembly no important information regarding images of products: please note that some of the images show other colors and variations of the model, these images are only to present interior design proposals.
