Aliante Bookshelf
The Cappellini Aliante Bookshelf by Giulio Cappellini and Rodolfo Dordoni suspends wooden shelves within two comb-like metal supports.
Wall-mounted compositions combine chromed or matte-painted frames with lacquered shelves or natural and black-stained oak finishes. Shelves may use different colors within one arrangement, turning a practical bookcase into a measured composition of horizontal lines.
Every detail, considered.
