Airport Modular Bookcase – Cattelan Italia (Design: Giorgio Cattelan, 2014)
The Airport bookcase is an innovative modular shelving system designed for full customization, offering both wall-mounted and free-standing options. Distinguished by its slim steel pillars and brackets and the choice of high-quality wooden shelves and containers, Airport adapts comfortably as a stunning open-space room divider, wall system, or corner installation. Its wide finish range—including Canaletto walnut, burned oak, painted woods, and specialty Brushed Bronze/Brushed Grey—delivers maximum design freedom and visual richness. Brushed finishes are exclusive, adding unique texture and glow to any modern living environment.
Pillars and brackets are crafted from titanium (GFM11), bronze (GFM18), graphite (GFM69), white (GFM71), or black (GFM73) embossed lacquered steel (sample card selection). Shelves, containers, and desks are available in mat-stained or wood-veneered MDF, with all combinations finished as desired. Suitable only for indoor use, Airport is a registered design ideal for residential or commercial installations seeking sophisticated Italian modularity and material artistry.
