Carlton Bookcase by Ettore Sottsass

Iconic bookcase created by Ettore Sottsass in 1981 for the Memphis group.

A true masterpiece of design and one of the most well-known and appreciated symbols today.

A set of colors, shapes and geometries. The stylized appearance of a man, transformed into the various parts of this bookcase. All this is the Carlton bookcase in Memphis. Sottsass was the human symbol of the group, and this object has become its symbol from a design point of view. A timeless icon, a piece capable of characterizing an entire environment. A bookcase that, more than anything else, is a work of art.
