Albero Bookcase by Gianfranco Frattini from Poltrona DS-6618

Albero Revolving Bookcase

The structure is distinctive both for its intricate cabinet work and its sculpted appearance, which ensures that it is the centrepiece of the room. The supporting structure of the Albero bookcase is in solid Canaletto walnut. It consists of two notched columns, with a special rack joint, and four vertical posts with regular perforations allowing for the mounting of twelve shelves. The latter are in MDF with wood veneer. The caps, at the ceiling and on the floor, are attached to the ends of the toothed supports. The top cap is inserted in a “cup” anchored to the ceiling. The bottom cap grips the floor with a non-slip rubber. The bookcase is held securely in position by four metal locknuts in the caps. The fixing elements (caps and cup) have an antiqued burnished steel finish. The signature of the designer and the Poltrona Frau logo are laser engraved on the lower toothed support. The Albero bookcase can rotate 360°.

product description

Introducing the Albero Revolving Bookcase, a masterpiece of craftsmanship and design that transforms any space into a gallery of knowledge. This bookcase is a testament to the intricate artistry and sculptural presence that define high-end furniture. The Albero's structural integrity is rooted in solid Canaletto walnut, a wood prized for its beauty and durability. It features two notched columns, crafted with a specialized rack joint that ensures stability, and four vertical posts. These posts are punctuated with regular perforations, providing the flexibility to mount twelve shelves, each made from Medium Density Fiberboard (MDF) with a wood veneer finish. The design's crowning elements are the ceiling and floor caps, which are seamlessly attached to the ends of the toothed supports. The top cap is ingeniously inserted into a "cup" that is anchored to the ceiling, while the bottom cap is designed with a non-slip rubber grip, ensuring the bookcase stands firm on any flooring. Four metal locknuts within the caps provide additional security, holding the bookcase steadfast in place. The finishing touch is the antiqued burnished steel finish on the fixing elements, including the caps and the cup, which adds a layer of sophistication and complements the natural warmth of the walnut. The bookcase also bears the signature of its designer and the Poltrona Frau logo, laser engraved on the lower toothed support, a mark of authenticity and quality. A standout feature of the Albero bookcase is its ability to rotate a full 360°, allowing for ease of access to your collection from any angle. This revolving design not only enhances the functionality of the bookcase but also adds a dynamic element to the room's decor. In summary, the Albero Revolving Bookcase is more than just a place to store books; it's a statement piece that brings a touch of elegance and innovation to your space. With its exquisite craftsmanship and engineering, it is destined to be the focal point of any room it graces.
