Torcello bookcase, an innovative project in the early 1960s that allowed wooden panels to be joined by a metal profile.
Torcello is an example of good cabinet-making and innovation.
The wood is walnut.
The doors are completely airtight, dustproof and have a male-female closing system.
The small parts are made of brass.
The cabinet rests on trunks lined with ultra-pressed felt placed underneath, designed to be decorative as well as functional.
Unique, elegant and unobtrusive hinge
Finished also on the back, the showcase can also be used as a centrepiece.
