Giulio Cappellini and Rodolfo Dordoni designed this simple and elegant bookshelves series. The Aliante series is composed of a metal structure and wooden shelving which makes for a beautiful contrast between the two. Two reeds in satined nickel or polished chromed metal makes up the metal structure while the shelves are available in macroter or polish lacquered in all colors of the collection in wenge, natural oak, ebony-stained oak, ash-grey oak, or canaletto walnut. For extra appeal the shelves can be bought with different colored shelves for added charm. The shelves are fixed to the structure through socket-head screws. The Aliante series is both a beautiful and a functional design.
