About the Item

This white-painted wooden wall shelf, with its essential and geometric lines, perfectly embodies the visionary and dynamic spirit of the Italian Futurist style from the 1910s and 1920s. Each angle and shelf seems to challenge traditional concepts of balance, creating a play of suspended forms that reflect the energy and drive toward progress characteristic of that era. The structure, despite its simplicity, communicates an aesthetic force that goes beyond mere function. The asymmetrical arrangement of the shelves invites the eye to follow their path, while the white-painted surfaces give the shelf an almost sculptural purity, highlighting the contrast between the dynamism of the forms and the calmness of the color. The paint, slightly worn by time, tells a story of decades, during which this functional work of art has witnessed the transformations of both modern and classic interiors, all while maintaining its innovative energy. The underlying wood, visible in some areas, attests to the craftsmanship that brought this creation to life, making it a bridge between the past and the future. This shelf is not just a piece of furniture but an expression of movement, speed, and modernity, born in a period when art and design were seeking new ways to represent a world in flux.
