Zibaldone

A masterpiece

Carlo Scarpa, 1976
A pair of well-engineered bookcases designed by Carlo Scarpa. Each case features two pieces of glass that move up and down by a weighted pulley and strap system.
It took Scarpa no less than ten years to design it, and the original was 6 meters high!"We'll put in castles everywhere" the professor said, but then he was convinced that this rather limited the potential number of clients and accepted the idea that its height sould be halved. With its ingenious movement, its refined details and its sublime spatial ratios, the project is Scarpa through and through. It was the first product to be produced in series with a counterweight system for raising and lowering the glass doors. Zibalsone is unanimously hailed as one of the masterpieces of the modern movement.
