Conceived in the late 1950s as a floor-to-ceiling free-standing bookcase, "Albero" was designed for use in interior settings rather than for serial production. The "Albero" is formally associated with the Neoliberty period and, in terms of product type, to the floor-to-ceiling bookcase systems that were popular throughout the 50s and 60s. Designed by Frattini, the structure stands out both for its complex cabinet work and for its sculpted nature, acting as the centrepiece of a room. Albero by Poltrona Frau is a bookcase. Supporting frame in solid Canalettowalnut veneer (29)with special rack and pinion joint and shelves inMDFwith Canaletto veneer. Iron caps, on the ceiling and ground, finished with textured, wrinkled-effect black paint.

The system has a 360° swivel mechanism. Any number of shelves from 8 to 12 can be fitted thanks to the holes in the uprights.
