The Franco Albini Veliero Bookcase, reimagined by Cassina in Italy in 2024, measures 205 cm wide, 55.5 cm deep, and 266 cm high, embodying a mid-century modern design that redefines the concept of balance. Originally created as a one-off piece by Albini in 1940 for his Milan home, this double-sided bookcase features two natural matte-finished ash wood pillars with brass tip ends, a metal rod frame, and extra light tempered glass shelves with polished edges, supported by stainless steel external braces. Its aerial, intricate structure channels a bold energy while maintaining a surprisingly linear aesthetic, allowing books and objects to appear as if floating, perfect as a room divider or a ‘furnished window’ in contemporary spaces.
In pristine condition, the Veliero Bookcase showcases Cassina’s design and construction prowess, preserving the minimal ideal of Albini’s original vision after extensive research and development. Defying traditional equilibrium, this piece stands as a manifesto of innovation, ideal for modern interiors seeking a visionary statement that blends functionality with an ethereal, artistic presence, reflecting Albini’s enduring legacy in design.
