Bonetto - Anonima Design (Pareti, Luzi, Prandi, Riccato, Virano) - Bookcase - Ash - The Aggregables

Mobile librarian with fold-out desk/table, designed by the Turin collective Anonima Design (comprising Sergio Pareti, Ezio Luzi, Federico Prandi, Viviana Riccato and Mario Virano) and produced by Bonetto around 1969-1974.
This multifunctional piece from the Gli Aggregabili series is a freestanding space-saving structure, transformable in ash veneer wood, conceived to integrate a bookshelf with a dining or work area in a single compact volume.

• Main structure: The vertical body, rectangular and slender, features a deep circular cut-out at the top. This opening houses an open-front bookshelf with horizontal shelves.

• Flip-top: The wooden disk that closes the circular opening is hinged to the base of the circle. Rotating outward, it becomes a large round table for eating or working.

• Support system: When the table is lowered, the top rests on two shaped doors integrated into the bottom of the cabinet. These doors open like a book toward the exterior, creating a stable base that is visually harmonious.

• Closure and details: At the top of the circle there is a transparent plexiglass rotating stop (visible at the top in the image). This element locks the disk in the vertical position when the table is not in use, transforming the piece into a decorative geometric panel.

Very good condition despite its age, showing only light signs of use; the photos are an integral part of the description.
