Joy Bookshelf

In designing Joy, Castiglioni realized the idea of technological and formal annihilation. Joy is a “neutral” object with a multiple role, the possible archetype of a new category. Joy’s peculiarity lies in the movement of rotating shelves realized with extreme simplicity: some horizontal shelves rotate freely around a vertical articulated column made of steel tubes. Joy is an “invention object” by one of the most influential masters of Italian Design.

A “rotating shelf unit”, hard to pigeonhole, which once again established a new typological record. A seemingly simple object made of six “overturned L-shaped” elements and a low supporting element that functions as a base for metal joints on with shelves are mounted.
