About the Item
Very large wall unit, bookcase, library, lacquered steel, Italy, 1950s
This extraordinary Italian library, crafted in the early 1950s, is a masterpiece of both design and function. Executed in a striking yet sophisticated dark green lacquered metal, it exudes a modernist elegance that remains timeless. What makes this piece truly remarkable is its exceptional height, soaring to an impressive 404 cm (159 inches) and 378 cm (149 inches). It commands attention as a statement of architectural vision. The integrated staircase, seamlessly designed to move laterally from left to right, enhances accessibility to the large collection of books this library can keep. With its bold color, precise engineering, and monumental scale, this library is more than just a storage solution. It is a sculptural presence, a tribute to midcentury Italian craftsmanship, and an invitation to elevate any space into a refined, intellectual sanctuary.
