The extremely rare P700 Modular Wall Bookcase , designed by Vittorio Introini for Saporiti Italia in 1969, is one of the most impressive and iconic wall units from Italian modernism of the 1960s. Part of the renowned Proposal series , this design reflects Introini's progressive vision, where architecture, functionality, and aesthetics come together in perfect harmony.
The P700 is an open, monumental bookcase that makes a powerful impression both visually and structurally. The system consists of four vertical columns , meticulously constructed from chrome-plated and stainless steel, to which shelves and shelving elements are attached according to a precise geometric arrangement. The sleek, linear design emphasizes a sense of rhythm, balance, and transparency , characteristic of Introini's architectural approach to furniture design.
The lower section consists of two smoked glass cabinets , which soften the industrial character of the metal and add a sense of luxury and depth. The interplay of steel and glass creates a refined materiality and a timeless look.
What truly sets the P700 apart is its modular and transformative nature. The arrangement of shelves and cabinets can be customized, allowing the piece to effortlessly adapt to the space and personal preferences. This makes the P700 not just a functional bookcase, but an architectural statement – a dynamic object that continues to evolve.
The harmonious composition of lines, volumes, and materials results in a distinctly modern aesthetic that is both powerful and elegant. This piece embodies Introini's avant-garde vision and his ability to elevate industrial materials to sculptural design of the highest order.
The P700 is extremely rare and only comes onto the market sporadically – a unique opportunity for collectors and interior enthusiasts at the highest international level.
Especially in this large version of 4 modules.
