Description from the seller

An elegant and highly functional 20th-century Italian design étagère/low bookshelf dating from the 1960s.
This piece is finely sculpted from solid beech wood and finished with a rich, warm walnut patina that beautifully accentuates the natural wood grain.
A distinctive feature of this design is its graduated tier construction, engineered with three open shelves of varying depths. The progressive depth gives the unit a striking geometric profile while maximizing practical storage space. Its low, elongated footprint makes it incredibly versatile—ideal for use as a low-profile bookcase, a refined entryway console, or an elegant media unit for modern interiors.
The unit stands on short, subtly tapered feet that offer excellent stability and a light, elevated aesthetic.
Specifications:
• Period: 1960s
• Origin: Italy
• Material: Beech wood with a walnut veneer patina finish
• Type: Étagère / Low Bookcase / Console
• Dimensions: Approx. 63 cm (Height) x 124 cm (Width) x 21 cm (Depth)
Condition:
Good vintage condition. The piece exhibits a beautiful, authentic aged patina with consistent surface wear, small scuffs, and light signs of use consistent with its age and history. The structure remains perfectly solid, sturdy.
