Nuvola Rossa bookshelf by Vico Magistretti for Cassina Italy 1

Creator: Vico Magistretti
Offered by: Original in Berlin

Description
Nuvola Rossa is a bookshelf designed by Vico Magistretti and produced by Cassina in 1977. This piece of furniture is characterized by a foldable structure composed of diagonal braces that serve as support for the shelves, making it not only a bookshelf but also a potential room divider. This bookshelf is entirely made of beechwood. Its essential form and the ability to integrate into various settings make it a popular choice among contemporary design enthusiasts. Nuvola Rossa is considered one of Vico Magistretti's most important works, given its extraordinary balance between figurative lightness and structural weight, successfully combining the classicism of a traditional bookshelf with the modernity of a foldable structure. The design of Nuvola Rossa stems from a reflection that began with some projects from 1946, including an economical bookshelf based on a ladder mechanism leaning against a wall to reduce traditional structural elements.
