About this piece

Designed by Ettore Sottsass himself after his iconic full-scale object, the Carlton cabinet. Perfect reproduction of the Carlton bookcase.

The vivid colors and seemingly random interplay of solids and voids suggest avant-garde painting and sculpture.

Limited edition of 1000 pcs.

Numbered and stamped on the bottom of the base. Comes in a stunning decorator box, with the exact edition # on the bottom. Edition # is also stamped & signed "Sottsass" on the toy's bottom.

It was Ettore's earnest desire that both young collectors & perhaps children would finally be able to afford a Memphis Classic, if only from a Lilliputian point of view!!

That said, anyone own a PostModern Dollhouse??
