FEAL MILANO - Bookcase - Aluminium

Large modular bookcase FEAL Milano – aluminum and wood – Italy, 1956–1960
Important modular bookcase produced by FEAL Milano in the second half of the 1950s, expression of postwar Italian design and of the research on modular systems in aluminum.
The structure consists of anodized aluminum tubular uprights with original injection-molded joints stamped: FEAL MILANO – BREV. – PAT. U.S.A.
The patented system allows fixing and adjusting the shelves via original FEAL cylindrical elements, testimony to the high design and construction quality.
The shelves are made with a grooved extruded aluminum frame and a wood panel, a typical solution of Italy's high-end production in the 1950s.
The modularity, the use of aluminum and the purity of the lines make this bookcase an excellent example of Italian Modernism.
This is an extremely rare specimen, complete with the original FEAL-stamped injection-molded joints.
