Set of 3 'Congresso' modular freestanding shelves by Lips Vago, Italy, 1960's

Creator: Lips Vago
Offered by: Zeger van Olden

Description
This set of 3 Italian Lips Vago 'Congresso' freestanding shelves/bookcases showcase an elegant yet robust design, which would work perfectly for any modern or industrial interiors. Crafted with precision, these shelving units feature a strong metal construction, that is characterized by its sleek and adjustable shelving. The design includes side supports that offer both stability and something for your books to lean against, enhancing the overall structure's functionality.

In the detailed close-up, you can observe the ribbed support beams running horizontally along the back, providing additional reinforcement and ensuring the durability of the shelves. The smooth, clean lines and the minimalistic aesthetic of the 'Congresso' shelves allow them to blend seamlessly into any space, while also standing out as a statement piece. Note that the lowest shelf is a bit deeper than the rest (38 cm for the whole base). It's what gives the stability to these units to be able to stand freely.

These bookcases are ideal for organizing books, displaying decorative items, or even storing office supplies, making them a versatile addition to any home or office setting. The timeless design and high-quality craftsmanship of the Lips Vago 'Congresso' shelves make them a must-have for enthusiasts of sophisticated, practical furniture.

We have 2 more of these shelves in a slightly different colour white but hardly visible.

Note that the price for shipping is based on a disassembled shelving unit. It's easy to put together but you have to do that locally. It's the smartest and safest way to ship it.

The shelving needs some cleaning which we can best do when it is taken apart so you can expect a cleaned end product with of course some traces of use. It's included in the price. Those traces of use make this unit special by the way, it's what gives character to these pieces. Refinishing is always an option though. Please reach out if you have a special colour in mind and you want us to take care of it.
