The Karakter Wall Bookcase, designed in 1957 by Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni, is an ode to lightness and essentiality. Four shelves suspended in the void, supported by thin cables that join at a single point, transform the concept of a bookcase into a game of balance and harmony.
Karakter
Karakter is a Danish company founded on the spirit of exploration and quality. They offer design objects, from furniture to objects and lighting, with a clear Scandinavian influence but at the same time looking at the international scene. They collaborate with contemporary designers such as Aldo Bakker and PlueerSmitt but also produce masterpieces by masters such as Joe Colombo and the Castiglioni brothers.
Achille & Pier Giacomo Castiglioni
Achille Castiglioni (1918 - 2002) and Pier Giacomo (1913 - 1968) were born in Milan where, together with their brother Livio (1911-1979) they began their professional activity, giving life to a design activity entirely characterized by research into "new" shapes, techniques and materials, tending towards the creation of an "integral" design process. Achille and Pier Giacomo Castiglioni are among the founders of the Association for Industrial Design.
