\nCongresso’ shelving unit by Lips Vago. In red lacquered steel, Italy, 1960s. with adjustable shelves.<\/p>\n

A classic design that showcases a minimalist yet functional aesthetic. This bookcase is characterized by its sleek, vertical metal frame and several evenly spaced horizontal shelves, all in a vivid red colour.
\nMade from steel sheets, the ‘Congresso’ is a sturdy yet unassuming bookcase that can be used as a storage solution or a room divider, making it a versatile addition to any space. The shelves are flat with raised sides, ensuring items stay securely in place. The metal sheets at the end of the shelf are placed upwards, doubling as bookends.
\nLips Vago, an Italian company founded in the mid-20th century when the Italian blacksmith company Vago merged with Dutch locker company Lips. They were renowned for their innovative metal furniture with a strong reputation for producing durable, industrial-style pieces that combine practicality with modern design. The company’s designs, including this bookcase, are highly regarded for their robust construction and ability to blend into various interior settings, from residential to commercial spaces. The distinct use of bold colors, like the red seen in this bookcase, adds a touch of vibrancy to their pieces, reflecting a modernist approach that prioritizes both form and function.<\/p>\n

The Congresso range is well-known for its modular and versatile design, allowing for a range of configurations suitable for both home and office environments. This model is particularly appreciated for its clean lines, durable metal construction, and functional elegance, which are hallmarks of the Lips Vago brand. Its popularity was such that it was awarded the Smau Industrial Design Award in 1968. <\/p>\n
