About the Item
The Carlton Library, an iconic Memphis creation, was designed in 1981 by Ettore Sottsass. Despite its unstructured appearance, this imposing colorful totem is cleverly balanced and can serve as a room divider. The colored laminate panels are assembled like a house of cards, forming a hymn to instability. The Carlton shelf is equipped with two sliding drawers and rests on a thick rectangular base speckled in black and white.
