Description
Minimalist yet elegant and highly functional wall unit “Aedes” was produced by the Italian manufacturer Amma Torino in the 1950s. The name “aedes” is derived from the Latin word for “tiger mosquito,” known for its distinctive black and white markings, which may be a reference to the unit’s metal construction. The characteristic bend in the lower part of the rails also bears a resemblance to the shape of a mosquito’s legs.
The set includes:
- two cabinets: H: 58 / W: 76 / D: 40 cm
- a cabinet and a vitrine: H: 34 / W: 76 / D: 32 cm
- two shelves, each 28 cm deep
- metal rails
- assembly accessories
Crafted from teak, this wall unit features two impressively spacious cabinets with sliding doors and inner shelves, along with a smaller cabinet and a glass vitrine of the same size. Additionally, it includes two deep shelves ideal for displaying books and decorations. All these features make it an extremely functional and visually well-balanced piece of furniture. With its teak-veneered back, it is completely double-sided, making it suitable for use as a functional room divider.
The uprights are made of black-painted curved metal tubing, ensuring excellent durability and longevity, while adjustable brass feet provide stability on uneven floors. The genius of its design lies in its modularity; the Aedes collection is entirely modular, allowing for easy customization. All shelves and cabinets are movable and can be placed higher or lower. The slots, positioned at regular intervals (each 8 cm), enable intuitive assembly and expansion of the bookcase with additional sections.
The bookcase has been fully renovated. It is in excellent condition, with only minimal traces of use consistent with its age. We have ensured that all mechanisms work properly and smoothly. The wood has been carefully preserved.
