Modular Italian red lacquered solid wood bookshelf, 1960s
This Italian modular bookshelf from the 1960s is crafted from solid wood with a glossy red lacquer finish and adjustable white laminate shelves. The design evokes the tiered architecture of Japanese pagodas, with overhanging profiles and turned wood elements reminiscent of miniature columns—an elegant blend of structure and ornament.
Its formal language suggests the influence of renowned Italian manufacturers such as Cinova or Sormani, who in the 1960s explored bold colors and architectural forms with a refined sense of proportion. The vibrant red lacquer is not merely decorative—it defines the object as a sculptural presence within the interior, bringing rhythm and energy to the space.
Consisting of two identical, stackable units, this bookshelf can be used individually or vertically combined to create a functional and graphic totem. The contrasting white laminate shelves add depth and versatility, allowing for flexible configurations while highlighting the sculptural interplay of volumes.
A careful conservative restoration preserved the original lacquer and construction details, enhancing its expressive character without compromising its historical integrity. A rare piece that speaks to collectors, architects, and interior designers seeking a distinctive statement object for curated spaces, editorial sets, galleries, or high-concept residential interiors.
