Libelle Baxter

Pietro Russo's Libelle bookshelf for Baxter is notable for its dynamic compositional richness that allows for its adaptable design.

The modular nature of the bookcase is what differentiates this design icon from others; by alternating empty and filled shelves and containers, a pervasive rhythm is produced that defines the room.

The bookcase's adaptability is ensured by the fact that it can be mounted on either the wall or the ceiling with the help of satin brass pins. The outer surfaces of the shelves are made of wood, and the inside can be made with Vienna straw or leather.

The containers have a super-transparent tempered glass framework. All the structural components, including the supports and the handles, are built of tubular aluminium that has been anodized in a satin finish.

The Libelle bookshelf is the spatial protagonist in any environment or with any piece of furniture owing to the freedom in its use and design that it provides.
