About the Item
The "Giraffe" bookshelf, designed by Paolo Tilche for Arform, is an icon of minimalist Italian design. Known for its adjustable height, this bookshelf was created to offer a functional and adaptable solution for living spaces.
**Paolo Tilche** (1925-2003) was a prominent Milanese designer renowned for his innovative and functional approach to design. Tilche collaborated with many of the leading Italian design companies, significantly shaping the design landscape of the 20th century. In 1950, he founded **Arform**, a company specializing in home objects, which championed modern and minimalist design.
The **Arform flagship store** in Milan, located on Via Manzoni, was a pivotal destination for design enthusiasts for many years. This store was not just a retail space but also a meeting place and source of inspiration for those seeking furnishings that blended aesthetics with functionality. Under Tilche's vision, Arform became synonymous with quality and innovation in the Italian design world.

By Paolo Tilche, Arform
Located in Royal Tunbridge Wells, Kent
A mid-20th Century bookcase or room divider produced in the 1960s by Arform, designed by Paolo Tilche.
