PRINT OVER PINTEREST: Roberto Monsani
Monsani developed a series in 1974 called the Life Collection for Acerbis. Part of this collection was the ‘Life Model Bookcase’ an illuminated modular shelving unit with both open and closed shelving compartments.
All of his interiors had a strong focus on lighting, using unusual ways to bring light into a space. Such as the dining area in the last picture, perforated walls allow light from fluorescent tubes to pass through.
