The Work

This iconic piece is presented in a total of 1000 pieces, each one individually emblazoned with a edition number and signature of E.

This iconic piece is presented in a total of 1000 pieces, each one individually emblazoned with a edition number and signature of E. Sottsass at the bottom. Preserved in its pristine original box, this miniature in 1:4 scale was crafted by Memphis Milano with the utmost attention to detail, mirroring the iconic design of the original Carlton Bookcase. The micro-laminate pattern of the base, named "Bacterio" after its designer, Ettore Sottsass, was downscaled from the original bookcase. Even the drawers open, just like the full-scale version. Considered by historians of furniture and design alike as one of the 20th Century's most essential pieces, this collectible showcases the pinnacle of craftsmanship.
