"I have always desired to do the opposite. Not because I have an anarchic behavior, but because I think the fundamental basis of design consists in thinking the opposite." - Achille Castiglioni
Rampa, a multifunctional station on wheels from 1965, was inspired by the traditional florist's display stands found on Italian town squares. On one side, the steps serve as a bookshelf with the four steps being covered with tempered glass plates, and a compartment in the lower large step, which is closed with a flap door. At the opposite side of Rampa, there are two visible compartments for storage as well as a larger flap that, when opened, acts as a writing desk, and reveals two more compartments, and six drawers. Thanks to the four castors, two of which has brakes, the object can easily be moved around or fixed.
