This wall-mounted bookshelf, designed by Giuseppe Scapinelli in the 1960s, embodies the organic sophistication characteristic of post-war Brazilian design. Crafted entirely from solid wood, it stands out for its taut curves and dynamic proportions. The subtly curved, almost floating shelves interact with sculpted vertical supports in a fluid continuity, offering a refined balance between structural lightness and architectural presence.
Scapinelli masterfully blends functional rigor with sensual lines, drawing from both European modernism and South American creative exuberance. A piece that is at once discreet and expressive, ideal for elegantly structuring a wall.
