Ptlolmeo 160 freestanding bookcase ?300 ono. (Retails at ?800-?900)


A Ptolomeo freestanding bookcase by Italian designer Bruno Rainaldi in black. It?s very striking and gives the illusion that the books are piled up in a haphazard way, with no visible support when viewed from the front. This is the freestanding version. The stand is made from tough chromed and lacquered steel, and has a strong heavy base, in a contrasting finish, that ensures stability. It can store numerous books of different sizes. There are 11 shelves. The overall height is 160cm. The base is 35cm by 35cm wide. Each shelf is 12 by 19cm.

The shelves will take paperbacks and hardbacks and some mid sized art and cookery books. Larger books are better on the base.


You can find more info and spec at the Conran shop but listed is the taller version. This 160cm version retails for around ?800-?900.

It is offered in good condition, but there are some small marks and scratches and areas of discolouration on the shelves, plus a dint in the base but most you won?t see these when full of books! Feel free to come and view.


Collection from East Dulwich near Goose Green. Please note that this quite heavy.

    • I guess it's best to do what most Brits do these days, keep your head down and say nothing! although that's probably why this country is in the mess it is today!  😞
    • @Dulwichway Absolutely - I'm in no way trying to say that what happened was life-changing. I've encountered way worse situations and think of myself as pretty tough, which is why I took them on and got pelted. I suppose I'm just taken aback because the park always seemed so safe. But the stats I've just posted contradict that.   I suppose the one of the points of this thread is to point out that they weren't just numpty youths - I'd bet money on some of them being involved in more serious criminality. And to tell others to be vigilant. 
    • Still, I guess it could be a lot worse than water being thrown at you by these numpty youths during these warmer times? thankfully it wasn't the more dangerous mugging type youths that crossed your path waving knifes and guns in your face!  just a thought? hopefully these muppets will get sorted by plod soon, but don't hold your breath. 
    • Another dramatic spike the previous May 24 -  both crimes around the car park -  could this be related to the massively increased numbers of people around Gala time?
