Spazio Bookshelf – Design Studio BBPR for Olivetti

Spazio Bookcase, designed by Studio BBPR for Olivetti. Considered one of the most significant expressions of post-war Italian industrial design, this bookcase represents the intersection of innovation, modularity, and functionality, principles that made Olivetti an international benchmark not only in technology but also in design.

Designed to meet the needs of modern workspaces, the Spazio bookcase stands out for its innovative self-supporting modular system. The structure is composed of painted steel sheet uprights, characterized by a series of perforations that allow for free positioning of the shelves, adapting the composition to various needs. The metal connecting crossbars ensure solidity and stability, while the rigorous geometric design reflects Studio BBPR's design philosophy, where constructive rationality and formal elegance coexist in perfect balance. The characteristic beige/hazelnut finish, typical of Olivetti production, helps to define the aesthetic identity of this authentic classic of Italian design.

Condition

The bookcase is in excellent overall condition. The metal structure is perfectly solid and stable, with intact and well-preserved uprights and shelves. The original beige/hazelnut paint shows only slight signs of use consistent with its age, attesting to the authenticity of the piece. The adjustable feet are all present and fully functional, allowing for proper leveling of the structure.
