Every angle, colour block and laminate pattern of the original is reproduced with precision — the primary reds, saturated blues, yellows and graphic black-and-white surfaces intact. At this reduced scale, its function shifts. The compartments remain, but practicality is no longer the point. What was once a room-defining bookcase becomes a sculptural object — a study in proportion, geometry and postmodern intent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-end=\"1130\" data-start=\"647\"\u003eDesigned in 1981 by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eEttore Sottsass\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e, the original Carlton challenged the rigid functionalism that dominated modern design. It proposed that furniture could communicate — that colour, asymmetry and ornament were not excess, but language. The Carlton Mini retains that proposition in concentrated form. Nothing is simplified. Nothing is softened. The same architectural logic and deliberate imbalance remain, only now scaled for a desk, a library, or a collector’s shelf.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-is-only-node=\"\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-end=\"1537\" data-start=\"1132\"\u003eProduced in Italy by \u003cspan class=\"hover:entity-accent entity-underline inline cursor-pointer align-baseline\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"whitespace-normal\"\u003eMemphis Milano as a limited edition of 1000 numbered pieces\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigner: Ettore Sottsass\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaker: Memphis Milano\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: Wood with decorative laminate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOrigin: Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesign period: 1980s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduction period: 2020s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1:4 scale reproduction of the original Carlton bookcase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdition: 871 of 1000\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: used with minor surface lines in the laminate of 4 pieces consistent with age (all shown in images)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasurements: L18.7 x W3.25 x H19.3 in \/ L47.5 x W8.2 x H49 cm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ad Origine","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47583600476408,"sku":null,"price":600.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/8884\/4280\/files\/AdOrigineMemphisCarltonMiniBookcase-4.jpg?v=1774429171","url":"https:\/\/adorigine.com\/products\/carlton-bookcase-mini-by-ettore-sottsass-for-memphis-milano","provider":"Ad Origine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
