Giovanni Gennari. Bibliochaise

Historic Italian design brand, Paradisoterrestre announces the addition to its catalogue of
Bibliochaise and Bibliopouf, seats designed by Giovanni Gennari that harmoniously blend
aesthetics and functionality.
Bibliochaise was first previewed in 2006 at Pitti Living during Fuorisalone. Designed to
meet the needs of book lovers, this armchair combines the elegance of a comfortable
seat with the versatility of a storage space for your selected library. The armchair,
customizable in finishes and colours, can hold up to 5 meters of books, and is
accompanied by Bibliopouf, an upholstered footstool inspired by the structure of the seat.
For the occasion, Paradisoterrestre has chosen to collaborate with one of the most
significant and richest cultural entities of Bologna: Libreria Nanni. Known as the oldest
bookshop of the city, it was started in 1825 by Marchesi family and in 1928 was taken
over by Arnaldo Nanni, who equipped it with the characteristic "Parisian stalls" under the
portico of Morte, which are still one of the distinguishing features of the historical activity.
The bookshop, located in the heart of the city in Via de' Musei, a few meters from the
Paradisoterrestre Gallery, houses a collection of rare and ancient volumes that has made
it a reference point for scholars, collectors, and enthusiasts. Bibliochaise and Bibliopouf
fit perfectly among the shelves filled with unique texts, standing out for their
contemporary design and refined finishes.

Paradisoterrestre is pleased to invite you to the presentation event on Friday 7th June
2024, at 6:00 PM at Libreria Nanni and Paradisoterrestre Gallery, respectively located in
Via de' Musei 8/D and Via de' Musei 4, Bologna (IT). A unique opportunity for design and
culture lovers to discover this original creation.
