Veliero

The Cassina Veliero bookcase, designed by Franco Albini in 1940, is a groundbreaking piece that redefines the concept of balance and equilibrium. Originally created as a one-off for Albini’s Milan home, this iconic freestanding bookcase defies traditional design principles with its minimal structure, giving the impression that books and objects are floating in mid-air. The Veliero is a testament to Cassina’s design and construction expertise, blending experimental innovation with state-of-the-art technology.
After extensive research and development, Cassina faithfully reproduced the original piece, preserving its light, airy aesthetic and its compelling sense of defying gravity. This bookcase remains a striking work of art, as magical and revolutionary today as when it first appeared, making it a statement piece in any contemporary interior.
