Libra Shelf 120 by Colé Italia
About the Item
Libra shelf 120 by Colé Italia with Martinelli/Venezia
Dimensions: H.42 D.20 W.124 cm
Materials: Shaped solid oak wall shelf; black lacquered iron stirrups
Also available: Libra Shelf 60
A minimalist shape with a strong aesthetic, Libra plays with the concept of balance, displacing the observer. “The metal support wraps the convex base of the wood, deforming and creating a material illusion: at first impression, it resembles a leather band. The image that inspired the project is, in fact, the traditional book-holder leather belt used by our grandparents, before the advent of the folders. Made of solid oak and supported by a wrought iron ribbon. A hidden metal plate welded to the support structure, makes the shelf-stable and durable.
Colé is a young Italian design brand, with a high-end production 100% made in Italy. Born from the experience of Matteo De Ponti, architect, who grew up in one of the most outstanding Milanese design families, and the artistic sensibility of Laura Macagno, degree in Economics and passionate of art and design.
Our Mission is to create design icons, beautiful and comfortable pieces that can Stand the test of time, furnishing houses of international and sophisticated clients, and realized with craftsmanship, thus unique. “We love objects which own deep roots, excellent quality, and a strong evocative power. Archetypal forms dressed with new beauty without losing their classical composure”.
Our expressive research is inspired by the utopian force of Italian eminences grises architects and designers of the ’50s, the Scandinavian design, the Bauhaus, ethnic handcraft and houses of famous writers of the XX century, all different as a style but united by the intense soul of those who worked and lived there.

Galerie Philia
Galerie Philia is an international contemporary sculptural design and art gallery representing emerging and established designers and artists. The gallery is the brainchild of two brothers who share a lifetime passion for art, literature and philosophy. Their distinct academic background sets them apart from their peers, as it sees them following a rhizomatic and transcultural approach in the way they select works. This involves combining elements from multiple cultures in what becomes a network of harmoniously interconnected roots, ultimately revealing the beauty of each unique creation. The gallery’s non-hierarchical curation sits apart from the ephemerality of trends and focuses instead on the true aesthetic quality of the piece – alluring and timeless. Unlike others, Galerie Philia does not focus on a single style – whether minimalist, organic or raw – but rather embraces heterogeneity. The Galerie Philia takes pride in discovering new talents, providing them with multiple international platforms to showcase their latest creations. As well as propelling the newest generation of 21st century collectible design, Galerie Philia also works with internationally known design artists. Galerie Philia has a strong international presence, with galleries in Geneva, New York and Singapore. In addition to their permanent spaces, the gallery organizes temporary group exhibitions and artists residencies in first-class locations around the world.
