Veliero

Description

Cassina and Franco Albini have used engineering and construction techniques to rebuild the light and iconic shelf – Velerio The weight of the shelf is distributed to two main parts and a system of wires stabilizes it and keep it straight. Theres is a beautiful airy feeling to this object. It floats on its base plate almost not touching it. The object was drawn for the creators house, but has become an iconic object, and the Cassinas reproduction of it has made the structure stable enough for all consumers.
