Ran Library (1982)

Stellar Works’ Carlo collection gathers together some of the greatest and most influential designs of a 20th- century Italian master: Carlo Forcolini. His bold, playful and unstintingly imaginative approach resulted in a succession of attention-grabbing chairs and stools that make use of strong geometric shapes and colours – together with a touch of humor.

Alongside influential 1980s seating such as the Cotton Club and ‘smiling’ Alien chairs, the Carlo collection includes Forcolini’s self-supporting bookcase Ran Library, inspired by temple doors in China and Japan.
