1980s Bookshelf, Walnut and Black Satin Lacquer, Sormani, Italy
About the Item
In the early 1980s, Luigi Sormani envisaged what would become a hit of the 1990s, later adopted by Antonio Citterio with B&B Italia: a modular shelving that tipped the modularity from the vertical to the horizontal; it broke the concept of the door, moving the attention to the surfaces. This is how the Grandispazi modular bookshelves were born.
A capacious and easy to assemble piece of furniture, here offered in one of its versions in the renowned and precious Sormani 20 gloss black lacquer and light Bolivar walnut horizontal shelves.
This configuration's total size is: H 262 x W 215.3 x D 47.4 cm (103 1/2 x 85 x 18 1/2 inches). It is ideal to contain coffee table and large art books.
