Congresso XL bookcase produced by Lips Vago

This extraordinary bookcase model Congresso was designed and produced by Lips Vago in 1967, representing one of the most innovative and iconic modular systems of Italian design of the 1960s.
Winner of the prestigious SMAU Industrial Design Award in the same year, the Congresso bookcase immediately established itself as a symbol of a rational and functional approach, capable of combining architecture and furniture into a single design gesture.
The version presented here is the XL, the rarest and most sought-after of all, today considered a true collector’s object.
Unlike the standard version with 5 shelves per side, this imposing configuration reaches 3 meters in height and features 7 shelves per side, for a total of 14 double-sided shelves.
The double-sided structure makes it a sculptural piece of great impact, perfect as a central divider within lofts, galleries, and public spaces, or as an architectural installation capable of redefining space.
A historical detail of absolute importance is that these bookcases were adopted by the Vatican Archives, confirming their solidity and the institutional vocation of a system conceived to endure over time and to contain repositories of knowledge.
Today they have become extremely rare on the market: we currently have 4 identical modules available, for a total of 4 linear meters, a unique opportunity to furnish an entire space with aesthetic and historical coherence.
 PRICE IS FOR ONE MODULE.
