{"product_id":"cole-and-son-libreria","title":"Cole \u0026 Son | Libreria","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe shelf of leather-bound books is among the oldest Fornasetti motifs, and Libreria extends it. The books remain, ranked and worn, but the shelves now also carry the things a collector accumulates around them: glass, ceramics, small ornaments, objects with no function beyond having been chosen.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFornasetti drew in the flat, and that is what gives this its particular quality. There is no perspective and no cast shadow; depth comes from overlap and from the density of line, so a bookcase is described with complete conviction and almost no illusion. Metallic detail is used sparingly and precisely, on the tooling of a spine, the rim of a glass, the edge of an ornament, which is enough to give the wall a low glint under lamplight without turning it into a metallic paper.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a design for an enclosed room. A study, a small library, a dining room or the back of a hall will let the shelves run round and meet, and the effect is of a room lined with things rather than papered. Real books nearby only help. It asks for dark timber, brass, and lamplight rather than overhead light. It also earns its place in a passage between rooms, where a short run of shelves reads as the edge of a larger library.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Cole \u0026 Son","offers":[{"title":"Rich Multi","offer_id":57800284111230,"sku":"114\/13025","price":309.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sample - Rich Multi","offer_id":57800284143998,"sku":"SAMPLE-114\/13025","price":2.5,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0909\/9880\/0766\/files\/Libreria_Image_Flatshot_Item_114-13025.jpg?v=1785945815","url":"https:\/\/shop.tobiasoliverinteriors.com\/products\/cole-and-son-libreria","provider":"Tobias Oliver","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
