A cabinet on five cylindrical legs: a closed lower section forming a console, and an open bookcase above, in red, white and black.

Designed in 1985, the year Sottsass left the Memphis group to devote himself to his own firm, Sottsass Associati — one of the last pieces he conceived for the movement he had founded five years earlier.

Hinges marked Memphis; some wear under the doors, consistent with genuine use.
