POMPEI

Design: Mauro Lipparini, 2025

The ancient Campanian city of Pompeii, with its magnificent mosaics, colonnades, temples, and grand avenues, stands in the collective imagination as a symbol of beauty, opulence, and purity of form. That same impression is made by Pompei, the open boiserie system by Mauro Lipparini for Casa International.

Pompei is a remarkable complement to contemporary living—a furniture system that defines its own structural identity as a modular wall unit. Composed of panels joined by an extruded aluminum rack profile, it allows the various system accessories to be placed at 32-millimeter vertical intervals.

The panels come in two primary variations: simple and composite. The first offers a continuous, flat surface, either lacquered or in wood. The second commands a strong graphic identity, with horizontal lines that resemble a musical staff. These lines subtly guide the placement of shelves and storage units, which can be arranged with great flexibility to shape the overall composition. Pompei’s expressive potential extends beyond basic function: even as it stores, displays, illuminates, integrates video screens, at the same time it establishes a visually impactful backdrop for the modern living room.

The system’s modular elements create compelling plays of fullness and emptiness, with floating, protruding components that can be positioned at any height, further enhanced by integrated lighting. Storage boxes exercise a dual role—functional, but also scenic. Their doors are available in two styles: the first features vertical wooden slats, creating an alternating rhythm of solid and open spaces that offer a subtle transparency effect. These can also be backlit, allowing light to filter through the gaps between the slats. The second option presents a smooth, matte lacquered front with vertically incised grooves, creating a striking chiaroscuro filigree. The doors operate in three ways: hinged, drop-down, and vertical sliding.

The elegance of the panels is reflected in Pompei’s pure design lexicon, with shelves available in a range of lengths, crafted in wood veneer or lacquered in glossy or matte finishes. Each suspended element can be fitted with integrated horizontal lighting, enhancing the theatrical scenography with an enchanting interplay of light and shadow.

Enabled by the absence of fixed side panels, the system develops freely through horizontal segments and volumes, without constraints. Whether abstractly composed or geometrically continuous, it possesses a sense of lightness—poetically adaptable through contrasting or tone-on-tone material and color combinations, all drawn from the rich collection of Casa International.
