Agapecasa Cavalletto Shelves
The Cavalletto system was originally designed and patented in 1953 and it continues to stand out with its remarkable versatility and functionality. Its defining feature is an upturned “V”-shaped trestle, which enables easy stacking through Mangiarotti’s signature and timeless gravity joint.
This design supports both bookshelves and closed containers with a precise “dovetail” joint.
Cavalletto is made from birch plywood, available in natural or dark oak finishes and with optional storage units. It can be fitted with a single deep drawer and an additional internal drawer, both with fully extendable runners and push-pull opening mechanism. The structure and front panels of the storage units are available painted white or grey.
Today, this timeless system has been revitalised and remains as relevant as ever, now available not only as shelving but also in bench seating and coffee table configurations.
Agapecasa is a unique collaboration between Studio Mangiarotti and leading Italian bathware company Agape. Agapecasa extends the Agape vision with original pieces including chairs, tables & storage units, that are refined, functional and modern conceived by an extraordinary architect whose experimentation established new reference parameters in typology, form and construction. Modular system of stackable vertical elements and shelves made from birch plywood, available in natural or dark oak finish and with optional storage units.
