RECENT ACQUISITIONS - 10th September
A mid-20th Century bookcase or room divider produced in the 1960s by Arform, designed by Paolo Tilche. Featuring wooden uprights, black painted wood end pieces, adjustable black terminals all of which can be arranged and assembled according to the user’s needs. The design is often referenced as “cielo-terra“ (literally translates to “sky-earth”) because the bookcase stretches from the floor to the ceiling. It has quite a lot of play in terms of the height (from about 280cm to about 310cm) which means it should fit most modern properties. As such, it can be used as a wall unit but also as a room divider, thus offering an elegant and ingenious way of creating zones within a large space or simply an elegant bookshelf, all the while maintaining an Italian retro chic which so characterises Paolo Tilche’s work.
The unit is of extremely high quality, with screws and detailing in brass and also combines a small drawer unit and a drinks cabinet. A wonderful way of uplifting any room with a style that is both vintage and contemporary.
