RIALTO

Realised in the 1970s, by Carlo Scarpa for his own home, this bookcase was later reworked at the request of Dino Gavina to make it suitable for industrial manufacture. The individual units are linked by a spacer insert. This has become the iconic feature of the design. Almost as distinctive is the central block, which is composed of shelves or small drawers, featuring a matte finish. The units are available in veneered ashwood in a natural or black-stain; alternatively, in lacquered matte black.
