Carteggio

Dresser

Aldo Rossi, 1987

Carteggio “presents itself as a kind of double or rival of the human figure.You stand before it; it is as tall as you are; you look at it and measure yourself against it ‘man to man.’ But the immobile person who is scrutinizing you has a strange, docile openness; he stands stiff and upright, ready to offer you, drawer by drawer, his inner secrets.” - Daniele Vitale

Design Aldo Rossi, 1987

DanieleVitale)It is intended for storing documents and particular objects and for dealing with papers, which occurs standing up. It is made of nine tall and short drawers, superimposed vertically, of a closed compartment with a double door, and, in the upper part, of a space for working and consulting documents that can be expanded by means of a pull-out shelf and closed with a rolling top.The drawers, doors and roll top have spherical wooden handles, except for the first drawer, which has a mignon lock.
