AIR BOOKSHELF
Designed by Daniele Lago
A reinterpretation of space, changing the relationship between full and empty volumes.
The self-standing Air Bookshelf on glass supports seems to float in mid air, allowing natural light to filter through and really lightening the look of the space.
The shelves and storage units are secured to the glass using an interlocking mechanism, making for an extremely safe and stable structure.

FEATURES
FLOATING ON SUBTLE SUPPORTS
The tempered-glass panels, which are highly resistant to knocks, are anchored to the storage units and shelves using an interlocking mechanism that ensures the structure is extremely safe and stable.
MAGICALLY SLOTTED TOGETHER
The bookcase storage units and shelves are supported by subtle vertical structures in extra-clear glass: a contrast that conveys extreme lightness to the living room.
FREEDOM TO CREATE AND EXPRESS YOURSELF
The bookcase shelves can be aligned or staggered, and are available in different thicknesses, making them infinitely customisable. Use different colours and materials to create dynamic and original juxtapositions.
SELF-STANDING AND DOUBLE-FACED
With no fastening requirements, the floating air bookcase can be stood against any type of wall or positioned as a centrepiece. The shelves are fully finished on both sides.
AN ULTRA-FLEXIBLE DESIGN, FOR ALL YOUR SPACE NEEDS
A wide range of design solutions make the air bookcase suitable for meeting your every size and functional need: whether small, medium or large covering an entire wall, air can be tailored to any space, with the help of lago’s interior designers.
AN ARCHITECTURAL FEATURE TO DIVIDE UP YOUR SPACE
Rising to the ceiling and being finished on both sides, the Air bookcase creates rooms within rooms and subdivides areas while maintaining harmony between rooms.
MATERIALS AND FINISHES
WOOD XGLASS
Storage unit front finish
With the innovative solution XGlass, LAGO can offer exclusive wood finishes with bold graining, brought to life and intensified using glass. The result is an absolutely perfect surface finish.
The continuous grain across the product surface becomes a distinguishing feature, creating a natural feel. Compared with traditional wood, the XGlass solution is also more resistant to wear and easier to clean, thanks to the physical properties of glass.
METAL GLASS
Hinged door and side panel finish
Three shimmering metallic colours dominate the surface evenly, creating a bright, warm and dynamic look, available in a range of matt and polished finishes.
Vivid colours create elegant visuals as the light changes both indoors and outdoors. Produced using solvent-free, water-based products, your furniture is hygienic and durable over time, thanks to the intrinsic qualities of glass.
OAK
Container structure finish
One of the major stars in the world of wood-working, oak expresses, with its sinuous and defined graining, all the nobility of a timeless material.
MIRROR
Storage unit front finish
Flawless, even surfaces that reflect the light subtly and elegantly, rather than trapping it in. They give the room depth and bring the spaces to life.
They can be used both on the wall and as a finish for various furnishings. There is also the option of a smoked effect, to create a softer, more seductive vibe.
GLASS
Shelf glass set finish
A fascinating and functional material. Synonymous with lightness, glass creates intense reflections that change with the light, giving an elegant, modern feel to the interiors.
We use Extrachiaro clear glass for an ultra-pure finish that guarantees absolute transparency. Our smoked glass finishes create an air of mystery and have enigmatic appeal. All the glass we use is tempered, undergoing treatment at 700°C to increase its resistance to loads and impact exponentially, which makes it 100% safe.
HOME COUTURE XGLASS
Storage unit front finish
Created in collaboration with a textile manufacturer that works with some of the very best haute-couture brands, the Home Couture collection offers sophisticated, elegant textures.
Together with the use of glass, this brings something new to the interior design.
WILDWOOD
Lid, bottom, shelf and container fronts finish
Innovative, lightweight solid oak – sourced from certified, sustainable forests and featuring an age-old 3D grain – has been skilfully crafted to offer an outstanding look and feel.
The wood is heat-treated to make it highly resistant and waterproof, preserving the Wildwood finish over time.
METAL XGLASS
Storage unit front finish
Metal XGlass surfaces boast vivid, iridescent reflections, achieved by applying five layers of lacquer, which are then hand-brushed to finish, giving the surface a dynamic sense of movement.
As part of an innovative strategy to reduce our environmental impact, by making the most of the properties of glass, we can ensure our products last and maintain their appearance over time, providing a contemporary, texture-rich design.
ANIMAL ZERO
Storage unit front finish
The striking skins of snakes and crocodiles cover the monolithic and formally perfect glass surfaces of LAGO products.
A design that conveys the explosive sensuality and feeling of independence typical of these animals, generating a powerful impact on the interior and zero impact on the animal world.
MARBLE XGLASS
Storage unit front finish
Marble XGlass combines the elegance of this material with the intrinsic qualities of glass, all in a sustainable way and without damaging natural resources. Digital technology allows us to create seamless continuity in the veining, adding value to our products, available in both a glossy and matt finish.
LACQUERED
Lacquered for lid, bottom, shelf, container structure and container front finishes Polished and matt glass for finish container fronts
Solidity, rigour, reassuring formal perfection and accessibility: lacquer is a creative palette where functionality and colour create visual surfaces with a design sensibility. LAGO lacquer is made with solvent-free, water-based products, thus avoiding the emission of noxious, volatile organic substances in the environment.
