Modular Bookcase System by FEAL, Italy, 1960s
This modular bookcase system was produced by FEAL (Fabbrica Elementi Arredo Leggero) in Italy during the 1960s and represents a classic example of Italian industrial and modern design of the period. FEAL was renowned for its innovative use of metal structures combined with functional modularity, supplying systems widely used in both residential and professional interiors.
The bookcase features a metal frame structure, typically in lacquered steel or aluminum, designed to be lightweight yet structurally robust. Adjustable shelves allow for flexible configuration, making the system highly practical as well as visually refined. The clean, linear aesthetic reflects the rationalist and functionalist approach that defined Italian design in the postwar decades.
Thanks to its modular nature, the system can be adapted to different spaces and needs, functioning equally well as a bookcase, display unit, or storage system. The design emphasizes clarity, repetition, and balance, qualities that make FEAL systems timeless and still highly relevant in contemporary interiors.
The bookcase is in good vintage condition, with signs of wear consistent with age and use. The metal structure remains solid and stable, and the shelves retain a pleasing original patina.
A versatile and collectible Italian modular shelving...
