Lungangolo Bookcase (Left) by Achille Castiglioni for Karakter
Castiglioni, it's said, was fascinated by the idea of "lost space" – those empty corners and unused inches that could be transformed by beautiful design, but for some reason remained overlooked. This fascination led him to create pieces specifically for those forgotten corners, like the Lungangolo.
Originally produced by Bernini, the Lungangolo is a versatile piece of furniture with a frame of four slender, square-section pillars supporting square shelves at varying heights. A drawer and side piece provide additional strength, but their positioning led to a unique challenge: to accommodate both left and right-handed users, the Lungangolo had to be manufactured in two versions.
Finish: Oiled oak
Dimensions: 36 x 36 x 225 h cm
