Know before you buy
Yes, assembly is required for this piece. While it can be completed by the owner, we recommend having a second person assist due to the height and structure of the unit.
Absolutely. The bookcase is designed to be modular, allowing you to group multiple units together to create a larger, dynamic wall display or a more expansive geometric feature.
Canaletto Walnut offers a warm, rich, and classic dark wood tone with prominent grain patterns. Spessart Oak provides a slightly cooler, more muted brown finish that leans into a contemporary, sophisticated aesthetic.
No, the shelves are fixed in their puzzle-like configuration. This design is intentional to maintain the structural integrity and the unique geometric silhouette envisioned by designer Gino Carollo.
Yes, the bookcase is designed to stand independently. However, given its 82-inch height, we strongly recommend using the included wall-anchoring hardware to ensure maximum stability and safety.
Because the bookcase features a puzzle-like arrangement, the compartment sizes vary significantly. The unit is 17.75 inches wide and 13.75 inches deep, providing a mix of smaller and larger openings suitable for standard books and decorative objects.
