Carlton Miniature Bookcase
Carlton Miniature Bookcase, the brainchild of Ettore Sottsass in 1981 for the famous Memphis Milano brand, is a 1:4 scale reinterpretation of the iconic creation that captures the bold and avant-garde spirit of the Memphis Group movement of the 1980s.This eclectic and distinctive design piece features a geometric design and vibrant colours, with irregularly arranged shelves and an intricate network of shapes and lines. When observed carefully, its structure is reminiscent of the image of a man with raised arms and spread legs. Therefore, this small bookcase has now taken on a highly decorative value, which does not detract from the fact that it can be used for displaying small decorative objects or personal collections and for storing books, adding a note of liveliness and individuality to any room. In conclusion, this miniature is more than just a design object, it can be defined as an icon of the Memphis movement and a celebration of eclecticism, creativity and experimentation in the world of interior design. It is destined to catch the eye and become the focal point of any space in which it is placed, representing a tribute to freedom of expression and the search for new aesthetics.Carlton Miniature Bookcase is made of wood and plastic laminate and produced in a limited edition of 1000 numbered pieces printed under the base.
