Milano, Italy
Designer Nicola Gallizia and Camera presents the 505 UP Harry’s Library, a signature piece in Molteni&C’s modular furniture collection for living spaces, continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern lifestyles.
The 505 UP Harry’s Bar revives an element that has always featured in living spaces: the mobile bar, at the height of fashion in the 1950s and 60s, which becomes central in current lifestyles, once again open to conviviality.
505UP Harry’s bar has been designed as a totally autonomous element, but totally included in suspension in the 505 system.
The project has recently won a 2024 Prize Designs for Modern Furniture + Lighting Award from The Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of Architecture and Design and Global Design News.
Two large doors, box-shaped or glazed with a full 180° opening thanks to a concealed hinge, give access to the internal compartment, with fine wooden, ceramic or eco-skin covering, designed to house and conserve tools and bottles for any type of drink.
From the glass rack, to shelves, compartments and drawers fitted with specific accessories, used for containing the tools of the “trade” such as shakers, dispensers, spoons, citrus squeezers, trays, bowls or decanters, as well as a large space in which to store valuable bottles.
The functionality of the 505 UP System transcends the traditional bookcase, morphing into a modern furniture piece that complements contemporary living concepts.
Introducing a TV holder back with a veined wood panel adds further versatility to its design.
