With its rigorous shapes and its linearity, this open bookcase transmits elegance and refinement in all respects and fits perfectly both in modern and in more classical spaces.

The structure made of Canaletta walnut or spessart oak presents practical openings with defined geometric shapes, rectangular or square, designed specifically to place books or knick-knacks of various kinds.

In 1993 he participated in the Dirattan exhibition in Milan and in 1994 in the "Projects and Territories" exhibition at the Abitare il tempo fair in Verona. Some products were exhibited at the MoMA in New York.

In the same years he achieved the Du Pont awards in Cologne, Young design in Milan and Casaidea in Rome. In 2012 he received the Interior Innovation Award in Cologne for the product "Bookless" by Interlübke.

In 1999 he opened Studio28 GinoCarollo with the goal of creating a qualified team to support companies in the industry.

Product design linked to engineering and the creation of models and prototypes have proved to be tools that have enabled the studio to acquire concrete results over the years and to establish long-term collaborations.

The industrial design activity of Studio28 has expanded in recent years with the inclusion of new areas of expertise with particular development in the field of architectural design of exhibition spaces, showrooms and corporate identity.
