Description

An elegant take on classic wall-mounted shelving, the Karakter Libreria Pensile floating shelves for books are also a piece of Italian design history. Designed in 1957 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, this hanging bookcase has an innovative installation mechanism. Instead of being mounted on a wall, the floating book shelves hang by cords which are fixed to a circular base. The result? A graceful design that adds a refined touch to any room, doubling as a decorative accent. As skillfully crafted as it is creative, this suspended bookcase is made from oak with an oak or an ash veneer.

Minimalist and airy, the Karakter Libreria Pensile floating shelves for books offer an imaginative solution to showcase your book collection and items like artworks, plants, or vases.
