Set of three Congresso bookcases by Lips Vago, 1960s. They exude an aura of timeless sophistication and functional elegance. These bookcases, crafted from elegant black-painted metal, are iconic symbols of the design ingenuity and practicality of an era that embraced both style and substance. Embodying an unmistakable design language, the Congresso bookcase boasts exceptional qualities of durability, safety, flexibility and perfect integration into any environment, be it domestic or professional. Recognition with the 1968 Smau Industrial Design Award underlines its importance in the field of design excellence. Constructed from sheet steel, Congresso is a testament to strength and discretion, offering a versatile addition to any space thanks to its ability to be used on both sides. The metal plates at the ends of the shelves, positioned upwards, act not only as stabilizers but also as bookends, ensuring both form and function. Congresso represents a harmonious fusion between Vago's Italian metalworking skill and Lips' Dutch cabinetmaking experience; together, they created a piece that transcends mere utility, becoming a statement of refined taste and lasting quality. In a world where design often sacrifices practicality in favor of aesthetics or vice versa, Congresso bookcases demonstrate the possibility of achieving both seamlessly. They evoke a sense of nostalgia for a time when craftsmanship and functionality were held in high regard, inviting admiration and appreciation for their timeless appeal.
