Beautiful architectural open bookcase or shelving unit, sourced in Sicily, Italy, and dating from the 1970s.
This distinctive piece features a geometric composition of six horizontal white shelves, supported by alternating vertical dividers. Two contrasting dark wooden uprights at the back create an interesting visual rhythm and add warmth to the otherwise minimalist construction.
The open design gives the bookcase a light and airy appearance, while the combination of horizontal and vertical elements creates a strong architectural presence.
The different shelf depths add further character to the design, with the wider lower shelves providing additional space for larger books, ceramics and decorative objects.
The contrast between the off-white finish and the warm, dark wood makes this a particularly attractive example of Italian modernist furniture from the 1970s.
A versatile piece that can be used as a bookcase, display shelf or decorative storage unit, suitable for both contemporary and vintage interiors.
Condition:
The bookcase remains in used vintage condition, showing visible signs of age and use. The white surfaces display scratches, marks, paint losses and small chips, particularly along the edges and corners of the shelves.
These imperfections are consistent with its age and contribute to the authentic vintage character of the piece.
Please refer to the detailed photographs for a complete impression of its condition.

Width: 160 cm
Height: 187.5 cm
Maximum depth (widest shelf): 39.5 cm
Depth of narrower shelves: 29.5 cm
