A furnishing system made entirely of wood, designed and patented over fifty years ago now, but which still startles us for its versatility and functionality. Its distinctive feature is a trestle in the shape of an upturned āVā, which means it is superimposable by means of a simple gravity joint, to accommodate bookshelves or closed Storages by means of an authentic “dovetail” joint. Very popular when it first came out and widely published in leading international magazines at the time, the āCavallettoā system, which appeared in lots of designer furnishing in those days, has now been restored to life, evergreen right down to its very core.
