About the Item
Bookcase or wall unit, colored wood, Italy, 1970s
This striking polychrome bookcase is a quintessential example of early postmodern interior design. Constructed from colored lacquered wood, the piece embodies a distinct character. Strong architectural lines define the composition, with bold rectangular blocks stacked and interlocked into a rhythmic grid. The combination of deep black surfaces with vibrant blue accents gives the design a striking graphic quality, emphasizing both structure and proportion. The result is a unit that feels sculptural yet functional, with open shelving offering versatile storage and display space. This piece reflects the radical Italian design spirit of the 1970s, where geometric rigor, daring color contrasts, and bold material use came together to redefine domestic interiors.
