Based on shelves French designer Pierre Paulin originally designed in 1971 for French President Georges Pompidou at the Elysee Palace, the Elysee Bookshelf's graceful, curved brackets turn books and decorative objects into a work of art. Available in a series of compositions, Elysee is a striking, sculptural bentwood bookcase that can be placed against a wall or used as a partition to divide a room. Made in Italy.
