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.

Yes. The modular logic of Aliante is central to its design, allowing shelves to be added, removed, or repositioned over time without altering the wall-mounted comb structure.
