Pierluigi Spadolini Modular Bookcase in Walnut 1950s

Pierluigi Spadolini, modular sideboard, walnut, brass, Italy, 1954

Designed by Pierluigi Spadolini, this sideboard exemplifies the perfect fusion of practicality and clean geometries, crafted from walnut. A similar version of this design was originally exhibited at the 10th Triennale in Milan in 1954. The bookcase features a vertical framework composed of two main columns that are adjustable to accommodate various configurations of shelves and compartments. The shelves are supported by angular brackets that also serve as bookends, enhancing the clean-lined design while maintaining structural integrity. The lower section comprises two cabinets and a set of drawers, providing enclosed storage solutions. The use of walnut wood brings warmth and natural texture to the otherwise sleek design, highlighting the craftsmanship involved in its construction. This bookcase is a testament to Spadolini’s architectural approach to furniture, emphasizing both structure and adaptability.
