About the Item

This stunning wall bookcase was made in Italy in the 1960s by the renowned Italian furniture firm Industria Mobili Barovero. A standout piece from the iconic Selex furniture series, it carries the original trademark that confirms its authenticity. In 1960, Barovero patented the Selex series, a revolutionary modular furniture system combining metal supports with elegant, practical wooden shelves. The Selex series quickly rose to prominence, celebrated for its clean lines, smart functionality, and timeless modernist aesthetic. Crafted from rich teak wood and durable metal, this bookcase offers ample storage: ten open shelves, four drawers, and two closed cabinets, making it as practical as it is beautiful. With its refined Italian design and functional elegance, this piece is a perfect blend of mid-century style and enduring craftsmanship. The item is preserved in good condition. The final shipping quote will be provided by the seller at a later time according to the customer's location.
