About the Item

Paolo Tilche's Giraffe Bookcase, designed in the 1960s, is a masterpiece of Italian modernist design. Made of teak wood, this bookcase is renowned for its sturdiness and quality materials. The modular design, available in 2-, 3-, or 4-bay versions, allows great flexibility in space organization, making the bookcase suitable for different needs and environments, from living room to study to office. The Giraffe Bookcase is distinguished by its clean lines and minimalist aesthetic, typical of modernism, while refined details and craftsmanship accentuate its elegance. The teak finish gives a warm, natural look that is ideal for any style of decor, from modern to classic. Paolo Tilche was a prominent designer in the 20th century Italian design scene. The Giraffe Bookcase reflects its philosophy of combining aesthetics and functionality, creating pieces that are both beautiful to look at and practical to use. This piece of furniture is a perfect example of how 1960s design can still be relevant and appreciated today. It has two container modules.
