Radical icon of the Italian design of the 70s, Giovanni's "Crossing" library offered for Saporiti represents one of the most surprising structural experiments of the time. More than a simple container, "crossing" is a declaration of intent: a complex architectural system that celebrates balance, modularity and gravity as the only constructive principle.
The project stands out for its revolutionary interlocking system: each element - shelves, uprights, panels - is composed and stabilizes solely through its own weight and precision of the milling.
No lives, no bolts, no visible mechanical fixing. A bold idea, perfectly made thanks to the design rigor of offers and the manufacturing quality of Saporiti, an publisher who has always been attentive to experimentation and evolved industrial language.
The raw material is equally noble and sophisticated: the maple of maple eye eye, a lively and vibrant essence, characterized by a dense and point natural design, which gives depth and movement to every surface.
The contrast between the dynamic veins and the rational geometries of the system generates a visual balance of great impact, sober and monumental at the same time.
The composition alternates full and empty in a perfectly calibrated visual rhythm: fumé glass operable doors, containers with branches, integrated drawers and suspended shelves define a versatile system, designed to adapt to multiple configurations and functions.
It is ideal as an equipped wall, a library from the center of the room or scenographic divider in residential and professional environments.
Rare piece, a complex to be found in its complete version and in perfect condition, is today one of the sought after creations of the Saporiti repertoire - and an eloquent testimony of the contemporary vision and without compromise by Giovanni Offer.
Excellent general conditions with small signs of time given its more than 50 years.
