Description

Originally designed in 1957 and perfected over the years, the Libreria Pensile shelf was first produced by Bernini in 1966. Castiglioni wanted to keep the structure of the bookcase to a minimum, and decided to hang the shelves from nodes on two cables attached to a single point on the wall. 50 years after its launch, this shelving system is still going strong. Published today by Karakter, the Libreria Pensile shelf embodies elegance and lightness.

CASTIGLIONI A. & P.

Italian designers and brothers Pier Giacomo and Achille Castiglioni both studied architecture at Milan Polytechnic. The first graduated in 1937, and Achille, the last of the family, also graduated in 1944. He then joined his two older brothers in their design studio in Milan and, together, they developed design projects for Italian companies looking to revive their country's post-war economy. Their work stands out for its particular conception of products through a logical analysis of the functions that the object must fulfil and the means to achieve this. The design, which is very pure, comes next to enable the object to perform its functions. Between 1950 and 1960, the Castiglioni brothers designed a number of products for major brands such as Flos, which produced the Arco floor lamp, a design classic, and Zanotta, for which they created the famous Mezzadro stool with a tractor saddle. The death of Pier Giacomo in 1968 put an end to the collaborations. After the death of his brother, Achille continued to design but devoted most of his time to teaching design, first in Turin and then in Milan.
