About the Item
Modernist “Tango” Bookcase for Bernini, 1980s
The "Tango" bookcase by Bernini, crafted in the early 1980s, captures the essence of mid-century modern design with its robust yet sleek aesthetic. Drawing inspiration from the work of Gianfranco Frattini, this piece features interlocking elements and support beams that ensure both structural stability and artistic attractiveness. The bookcase is made from solid and veneered wood, highlighting Bernini's commitment to high-quality craftsmanship.
A key characteristic of this bookcase is its threaded posts, which facilitate easy assembly and disassembly. The "Tango" bookcase's open, airy structure and modular design make it a versatile addition to any interior.
The legs of the bookcase are reminiscent of the design of Giovanni Michelucci's tables from the 1960s and 70s, particularly the drafting table style trestle legs. This design choice not only adds to the stability of the piece but also enhances its mid-century modern aesthetic retrospection, characterized by clean lines, minimal ornamentation, and a harmonious blend of materials and techniques.
