Lips Vago's trio of black Congress bookcases

Offered by: Vintage Domus Srl

Description
Lips Vago's trio of black Congress bookcases from the 1960s exude an aura of timeless sophistication and functional elegance. These bookcases, made of elegant black painted metal, are iconic symbols of the ingenuity and practicality of design from an era that embraced both style and substance.

Embodying an unmistakable design language, the Congress bookcase by Lips Vago boasts exceptional qualities of durability, safety, flexibility and perfect integration into any environment, whether domestic or professional. Its recognition with the 1968 Smau Award for Industrial Design underlines its importance in the field of design excellence. In this set we offer the 300 cm high version. The bookcases can also be assembled together.

Constructed from steel sheeting, the "Congress" shelf stands as a testament to robustness and discretion, offering a versatile addition to any space with its ability to be utilized on both sides. The metal plates at the shelf ends, positioned upwards, serve not only as stabilizers but also as bookends, ensuring both form and function.

Lips Vago's creation of the Congress shelf represents a harmonious fusion between the Italian metalwork prowess of Vago and the Dutch cabinet-making expertise of Lips. Together, they birthed a piece that transcends mere utility, becoming a statement of refined taste and enduring quality.

In a world where design often sacrifices practicality for aesthetics or vice versa, the Congress bookshelves stand as a testament to the possibility of achieving both seamlessly. They evoke a sense of nostalgia for an era where craftsmanship and functionality were held in high regard, inviting admiration and appreciation for their timeless allure.
