Library Furniture

Frezza designs and manufactures library furniture in Vidor, Italy: modular bookcases, tables, chairs, stools, poufs and storage, coordinated within a single project.

Modular bookcases and shelving

The Phylo bookcase comes in five heights from 46 to 198 cm, with metal, melamine or glass shelves. It works against the wall or freestanding, so it can also divide the library into zones, and it can be fitted with writable chalkboard backs, planters, containers with doors and lockers. In the 48 cm version with an upholstered cushion, Phylo becomes a bench, turning a run of low shelving into extra seating. Materials that should not sit on open shelves go into closed cabinets, while Lockers, 45 cm wide in three- or four-compartment units, keep students’ belongings secure.

Tables and chairs for reading rooms

In the reading room, tables are set out as individual or shared study spaces and paired with chairs built for heavy use: the Viggo ergonomic chair, the Charlize chair or the Lash wooden chair. Yo Wood by Progetto CMR is stackable and linkable, with a removable writing tablet on the sled-base version. At reference counters, the Ergotech Wood stool in beech plywood offers seat height adjustment and an adjustable footrest.

Lounge reading and teen spaces

Informal areas mix armchairs such as Poppea Soft, upholstered benches such as the Alplus bench, and the C1.8 pouf by Giorgio Topan, whose table version has a beech plywood writing surface 74 cm from the floor. The Gradone grandstand, with modules 90 or 135 cm deep on two levels, creates a stage for talks, story time or teen events, with USB ports and planters as options. Pop Easy high tables, 105 cm tall, add perching spots for short sessions.

Flexible furniture for group study and events

For group work, the high Be.1 Nomad Table on braked casters and the Agile mobile board with monitor holder move wherever they are needed, and the Mediawalk partition on wheels screens off a zone without construction work. Stackable chairs such as Noma, which stacks up to 12 high without armrests, and Yo Fabric clear the floor after events. The Alplus meeting pod carves out a corner for small groups.

School and university libraries

In schools and universities the library shares users with classrooms and study commons, so Frezza library furniture is coordinated with its educational furniture. For larger projects Frezza develops custom designs with in-house production, and architects and designers can find catalogs, data sheets and DWG files in the download area.
