Turner bookcase designed by Gianfranco Frattini reissued by Poltrona Frau with an internal metal support structure enclosed in a central column made of birch plywood panels veneered in Canaletto walnut. Top made of birch plywood covered with a double layer of Canaletto walnut, topped with a circular swivel top made of MDF and covered in leather or hide. Intermediate tabletops made of birch plywood and solid Canaletto walnut inserts, fitted with grooves that act as rails for positioning the 21 dividing panels made of birch plywood with Canaletto walnut veneer and solid wood edges.
Circular black painted steel base with two self-lubricating bushings which allow the independent rotation of the base with the bookcase shelves and the swivel top.
The Turner revolving bookcase represents a re-edition of the historic Model 823, created in 1963 by renowned Italian architect and designer Gianfranco Frattini (1926-2004). Inspired by traditional English centerpiece bookcases, designed to keep your most treasured books close by at all times, Turner is distinguished by its state-of-the-art construction concept.
The supporting structure, developed vertically on three levels, resembles the architecture of a building. Each floor has grooves that act as rails, allowing the insertion or removal of a series of dividing panels, up to a maximum of 21 (seven per level). This feature allows different combinations to be created, offering a dynamic interplay of solids and voids.
