Product Information
Description
The Oblique bookcase, designed by Piero Lissoni for Glas Italia, is a striking piece of contemporary design. It features a series of open storage units crafted from laminated glass. The edges are meticulously polished to a shiny, ground finish and heat-sealed at a precise 45° angle, ensuring seamless and elegant joints. The external surface of the glass units boasts a special mirrored finish, creating a sleek, reflective appearance. Inside, the surfaces are treated with an opaque mirror finish, which subtly blurs and diffuses reflections, lending a soft, ethereal quality to the objects displayed. This combination of sharp design and innovative use of materials highlights Lissoni's minimalist yet luxurious approach to modern furniture.Need a second opinion?Our design experts can assist with everything from swatches to sizing to pricing. -

Price Promise
Our Price Promise
We know that price is important. And while all of our designs follow the recommended retail prices (RRP) from our suppliers, we’re determined never to be bested.
It’s why we decided to introduce our Chaplins Price Promise. A guarantee to try and match the price of a branded product should you find it on sale at another authorised UK retailer. While the offer only applies to new designs (rather than clearance, outlets or ex-display) it’s our way of showing that we don’t just offer the best in service or style, but are committed to competitive pricing, too.
Please click on the button below should you wish to query a price. If a competitor's offer isn't immediately apparent online, we may ask you to supply us with a written quotation from the retailer — just to confirm the details.
And remember, Chaplins newsletter subscribers get an exclusive first order discount when they sign up. All of the details of which you can find in the footer below.
