Lips Vago Congresso bookcase

These modest and strong shelves were manufactured by Lips Vago: a joining of the Italian blacksmith company Vago and the Dutch locker company Lips. They designed models for archives and libraries, this shelving unit was an outcome of the collaboration. It is made of steel metal sheets that bend upwards at the edges of the shelves making them function as book ends, making it both expressive and functional. Due to its popularity, in 1968 the shelving unit won the Smau Industrial Design Award.

In good condition. It has been recently resprayed with a white finish.
