About the Item

An iconic and versatile "Sistema Book" modular cabinet, designed by Titti Fabiani for Ideal Form Team (IFT) in 1969. This piece is a landmark of Italian modular design, celebrated for its essential geometric rigor and its innovative approach to domestic storage. The system is composed of perfectly cubic modules in natural ash wood, featuring the unmistakable circular recessed handles-a functional detail that became the aesthetic signature of the entire collection. This specific configuration includes a mix of open shelving and closed compartments with glass or wooden doors, held together by a simple yet ingenious interlocking mechanism. Titti Fabiani's "Book" for Ideal Form Team was one of the first designs to treat furniture as an "open system," allowing the user to build and reinvent their own interior landscape according to their needs. Its clean lines and the warmth of the solid wood make it a timeless masterpiece that fits perfectly into both mid-century and contemporary minimalist environments.
