lungangolo shelving unit
Design Achille Castiglioni, 1991
Solid & veneered oak treated with natural or black oil
Made by Karakter
"I have always desired to do the opposite. Not because I have an anarchic behaviour, but because I think the fundamental basis of design consists in thinking the opposite." - Achille Castiglioni
Castiglioni is said to ponder a lot on lost space. Empty inches and square meters that could be filled with beautiful design, but for some reason just never were. Due to this thinking he did many designs intended specifically for the corners of the home. Lungangolo is one of those. Lungangolo is a multi-use piece of furniture originally produced by Bernini. The frame is made of four slender pillars with square cross-sections in between to support the square shelves placed in various heights. The structure is strengthened by a drawer and a side piece. The position of the drawer and elimination of part of the support meant it had to be manufactured in two versions, to work for both left and right handed.
