Nautilus Modular Bookcase – Cattelan Italia (Design: Studio Brogliato Traverso, 2019)
The Nautilus modular bookcase takes its name from legendary voyages and adventure, translating these concepts into a visually light, elegant storage system. Crafted as a series of stackable or side-by-side steel modules, Nautilus is designed for a range of compositions: vertical, horizontal, stepped, or extended as a long room divider. Its inclined vertical elements evoke sails in the wind and allow light to play through, delivering both function and sculptural charisma. Distinctive metallic finishes give the system a bright, discreet look—integrating seamlessly in refined, modern interiors.
Made from steel varnished with epoxy powders, Nautilus is available in titanium (GFM11), bronze (GFM18), graphite (GFM69), or pearl (GFM70) embossed lacquered finishes, selectable from the Cattelan Italia sample card. Each unit can be anchored to the wall or stabilized with an optional ballast (recommended for freestanding installations). Nautilus is exclusively designed for indoor use.
Key Features:
- Fully modular steel bookcase—stackable or placed side by side, for creative custom layouts.
- Vertical elements inclined to let light filter through, producing a dynamic sail-inspired pattern.
- Finish options: titanium, bronze, graphite, pearl embossed lacquered steel.

- Optional ballast for extra stability; wall anchorage required if ballast not used.
