The Original Ptolomeo bookshelf is a truly inventive design. Both playful and practical, it is described as a mix between “magic, art and function” and has been awarded the world’s highest accolade for design – the Compasso d’Oro.
"Third century BC Pharaoh Ptolomeo I Soter gave the order to build the Royal Library of Alexandria in Egypt, the largest and richest library in the ancient world. Bruno loved books (designer Bruno Rainaldi) he believed that books were real nourishment for the soul, the best companions on this journey called life. This is why he wanted his bookcase, the only one that made books the absolute protagonists, to be a tribute to the one who was the first to take care of books (as far as history can remember)."
