About this Product

Gli Sgarrupati designed in 1992 is a vibrant Italian design icon that refuses to behave like an ordinary shelving unit. Born from Studio65’s playful spirit, the full bookcase unfurls like a joyous architectural daydream across your wall, with slanted shelves and cabinets that seem to dance in colourful choreography rather than sitting in strict horizontal lines. Entirely handmade in Italy, its lively shapes and hues turn your books and objects into part of a spirited visual composition, inviting your room to be both gallery and library in one exuberant embrace.

Franco Audrito

Franco Audrito founded Studio65 in Turin in 1965 as an avant-garde experimentation collective that brought together a group of artists, painters, photographers, and aspiring filmmakers- all students of the Faculty of Architecture. In 1975 Franco Audrito and his partner Athena (Nanà) Sampaniotou, along with their Studio65 colleagues, began their adventures in the Middle East, leading the studio to win competitions and build structures in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Tunisia, Egypt, and then Russia, Indonesia, England, China and the UAE.
