Aliante
Made by Cappellini
Aliante was conceived by Giulio Cappellini and Rodolfo Dordoni as a study in apparent weightlessness. A polished metal comb anchors to the wall and holds its shelves with quiet precision, so the composition reads as much as a drawing as a piece of furniture.
Shelves are available in matte or gloss lacquer, as well as natural and black-stained oak, allowing configurations that shift in character from space to space. The modularity is not incidental - it is the design's central proposition, inviting the owner to compose and recompose over time.
