The system comprises three modules with a teak frame and metal ends, designed to be pressure-fixed between the floor and ceiling using adjustable uprights. The design, developed by Albini in 1957, stands out for its modular configuration and the ability to rearrange the elements according to usage needs.

The bookcase features two types of adjustable shelves and a central storage compartment with a drop-down door. The metal feet at the top and bottom allow for precise adjustment to different heights.

Depth with the drop-down door open: 72 cm.
Minimum height: 264 cm.
Maximum height: 304 cm.
