The unmistakable geometry of the lamps comes alive in this freestanding mahogany wood bookshelf with glass, marble, and brass inserts. A solid structure capable of transforming the entire look of a room, where you can collect books, magazines, collector’s volumes, and design objects.

The name Cardo, derived from the Latin word “cardum”, meaning pole or cardinal point, emphasizes how the new Poli Arte Design bookshelf is a true reference point in our atelier’s style. Just as Decumano first paved the way, Cardo invites us not to lose sight of the Poliarte style and tradition in creating original and innovative furnishings.

The Cardo bookshelf is also a reference point for other aspects: it is the place of culture that houses precious texts and objects. With its linear geometry, it defines multiple horizons and perspectives, influencing the furnishings in the environment where it will be placed.

The materials used for creating the bookshelf make it highly customizable: it adapts to different interior architectures while maintaining undeniable iconicity. Mahogany or oak for the supporting structure, Carrara or Portoro marble for the distinctive elements, and brass and steel for the metal structures—gold and silver for the glass: these original combinations give each element a consistently different and unique appearance.
