Acerbis - Mario Bellini - Bookcase - Ondaquadra 817 - Wood

Very rare modular bookcase “Onda Quadra” model 817 Produced by Acerbis International in 1988 *Modular bookcase “Onda Quadra” - Models 817* *Designer: Mario Bellini, 1988* *Producer: Acerbis International, Italy, late 1980s* *Very rare - produced in only a handful of pieces* We are in Bellini’s most mature and experimental period, when he had already won eight Compasso d’Oro awards and was director of Domus, a moment in which the designer explores the concept of architectural and deconstructed shelving. The name “Onda Quadra” derives from the square-wave profile of the upright and the junction system, which allows free, scenographic configurability, typical of the Italian intellectual postmodernism of the late 1980s. The system is conceived as a domestic architecture: vertical uprights and shelves that interlock without visible screws, creating solid and void volumes with a strong visual impact. A piece that is at once bookcase, sculpture, and wall unit. *Technical Details:* - *Designer:* Mario Bellini (Milan, 1935) - *Producer:* Acerbis International, Bergamo - Italy - *Year of design/production:* 1988, produced in the late 1980s in a very limited edition - *Model:* Onda Quadra - 817 (configurations of 4 stackable/components) - *Materials:* Painted metal frame and lacquered/laminated high-quality wood, original Acerbis finish - *Color:* As per photo - *Design:* Modular, freestanding, combinable - *Dimensions:* H 190 x W 165 x D 50 cm *Conditions:* Good overall condition for age and use.
