Ettore Sottsass Early Suvretta Bookcase for Memphis Milano 1981

Early suvretta bookcase, designed by ettore sottsass in 1981 for memphis milano. This particular bookcase comes from the late 1980s and is marked with the original memphis milano metal plate. It is made of wood covered with decorative laminate (abet laminati), partly with the well known 'bacterio' design, also by ettore sottsass. The shelves are in vibrant green. They alternate in an inclined and vertical manner, generating a simple and dynamic composition emphasized by the white background and framed by the decoration of the laminate. Iconic piece by the master. The bookcase is in very good original condition. Only minimal traces of use.
