Throughout his career, Franco Albini remained committed to Italian Rationalism and the avant-garde role of architecture in exploring new forms and expressions in constant dialogue with technology. These technologies could be applied to the design of buildings as well as everyday objects and furniture. In this regard, Albini was proudly a non-specialized designer, embodying a humanist approach by viewing architecture almost as a social science. He was a man capable of infusing his personal vision into every aspect of his work.
The LB7 bookshelf demonstrates architectural ambitions in a domestic context. The vertical thrust of its structure is softened by the warmth of rosewood, a precious wood with fascinating grain patterns. The brass discs, which support the bookshelf, seem to gently rest against the ceiling and floor, their chromatic richness adding an almost weightless elegance. This design is a gentle touch, the caress of thoughtful craftsmanship.
