French-made cylindrical three-tier revolving white wooden bookshelf on wheels, dating to 1970–1980, 80 cm high by 45 cm wide and 45 cm deep, in good used condition with small signs of wear.
Description from the seller
It is a revolving bookcase on wheels from the second half of the 20th century, built in white wood, and its presence reveals that taste for practical, mobile, and versatile furniture that defined so many homes of the era. The cylindrical structure, divided into three levels, creates a continuous visual rhythm: each floor opens into compartments that allow organizing books, magazines, or small objects without losing the sense of lightness. It is not a monumental piece; it is ingenious, functional, designed to accompany daily movement within the home.
The white wood, softly satin-finished, provides clarity and a clean, almost optimistic aesthetic, very typical of the sixties and seventies, when domestic design sought brightness and simplicity. That whiteness is not meant to be minimalist in the contemporary sense, but practical: easy to integrate into any environment, easy to mix with other furniture, easy to move. The wheels, discreet but essential, complete the design intention: a piece that moves, that adapts, that changes place according to daily needs.
The smooth rotation of the cylindrical body adds a nearly playful touch. It is not just a bookshelf: it’s a small domestic mechanism, an object that invites interaction with it. Its compact scale and rounded form make it a friendly piece, designed for small spaces or corners that need order without sacrificing charm.
Overall, this bookcase combines mobile functionality, clear aesthetics, structural ingenuity, and that practical spirit that marked design in the second half of the 20th century.
Certified shipping and good packaging.
