Rare bookcase designed by Ettore Sottsass form the series Mobili Grigi for Poltronova. While artistic director of Poltronova Sottsass created the Mobili Grigi series, introduced at Eurodomus 3 in Milan in 1970. The Mobili Grigi series included furnishing that Sottsass designed with the intention of reaching people in a destabilising and profound way as he himself states: “In a room you have to put as much grey furniture as possible, at this point the person will feel practically soffocated by a grey, shiny, geological slide of plastic, he will feel completely isolated from everithing outside the room”. These are Ettore Sottsass most anti-commercial designs, where the concept of grey symbolized the antithesis of consumer appeal. Gel-coated fiberglass structure with lacquered wood shelves.
