Description
This bookcase library was designed by Willy Rizzo and manufactured by Italian high-end furniture manufacturer Cidue in the 1970's.
It has a manufacturer's stamp
It was very shortly in productions and it's a rare piece.
The main characteristics of the design are timeless stylish minimalist design form, functionality, high end craftsmanship and high quality of materia
The bookcase is made of metal. It's a beautiful example of modernist Italian design. It has been manufactured with high-quality materials and it remains in very good original condition. It's a vintage piece and some small superficial scratches can be seen on the metal parts. The structure is very solid.
Metal shelves are very strong and without any defects (no bents or indentations)
Each end has one black tower-shaped cabinet 42 cm in width with metal shelves, each tower has one door that closes with the magnet.
Between the black towers there are 60 cm wide open shelves.
This piece can be completely disassembled (cheaper delivery cost). The more expensive delivery cost is for shipping the black towers in one piece - this makes assembling a bit more easy. I recommend a full disassembling because the assembling of the bookcase is not very complicated, it just takes some time.
Condition report:
Good. Wear consistent with age and use. Very good vintage conditions, small traces of cosmetic wear consistent with age and use, solid structure, no significant defects, fully functional as intended. The piece is more than 40 years old and, overall, remains in a very good condition.
Cancellations
We offer free cancellations and full refund for orders cancelled before dispatching. View full policy.
Returns
We have a 14-day return guarantee for orders from individual sellers, within the UK and European Union. View full policy.
Deliveries to UK:
For smaller items that fit into weight and size limits for Standard Parcel Delivery shipping costs are between 20 and 70 GBP and estimated delivery time is 2-5 working days. Weight limit is 30 kg and size limit for the parcel is 150 cm in length and 300 cm in gird. Some items that exceed these limits can be disassembled and shipped in multiple parcels with Standard delivery. If this is possible we will always ask customer if she or he agrees with such option.
For larger items or more delicate items we offer courier delivery which costs between 120 and 250 GBP, depending on the volume and weight of the shipment. This cost can be higher for items that don't fit into standardised Euro palette dimensions or for items that need to be disassembled and shipped packed in multiple parcels which exceed Euro palette dimensions. This kind of delivery includes insurance and estimated delivery time is 7-15 working days. Courier company delivers only to the ground floor. Deliveries to more remote parts of UK might be charged up to 30% of the usual cost.
For buyers from London it's sometimes possible to arrange private delivery with the van that operates directly from Zagreb to London once every 10 days. This delivery costs 2 GBP per kg, the deliverer calls in advance to arrange time of delivery and he is very flexible with such arrangements. This type of delivery can sometimes be postponed which is out of our control.
We are working on establishing more advanced solutions for shipping delicate and expensive objects with insurance companies and we hope this will be ready in the near future.
All our delivery costs stated in the listings are rough estimates. It's best to request in advance the accurate shipping quote for each item you are interested to purchase, and, of course, for combined shipping cost if applicable. We do not charge extra costs for shipping or packing our items and original shipping quote from a delivery company will be provided to each customer. The amount customer will pay for the shipping is the amount quoted by the shipping company or courier company. As mistakes can happen, any overcharged shipping cost will be refunded in the exact amount that was overcharged.
Any additional questions regarding the packing, shipping options and costs, please don't hesitate to ask. We will treat every customer individually and do our best to provide solution to every special need and request if possible and also to give the best possible advise if necessary.

Cancellations and Returns
Last updated: 24th March 2025
We want everybody’s Vinterior experience to be seamless, so both buyers and sellers can fall in love with pre-loved. We designed our Terms of sale to treat everybody fairly.
However, sometimes things don’t go exactly to plan, and you may need to cancel or return an order.
To prevent this, we encourage you to check listings, photos and descriptions carefully before you buy. If you aren’t sure about a piece’s condition, size, provenance or shipping, just ask; click Contact seller to get in touch. Always contact your seller first if you have any queries, at any point in your purchase.
Our buyers receive the same protection when buying from all our sellers, both professional and verified.
Can I cancel an order?
There are many reasons why you might need to cancel an order, and you'll often be entitled to a refund. To cancel an order, click Create cancellation on the order page.
If you cancel your order before it has been dispatched, you will receive a full refund - including delivery costs. However, if your item has been shipped, delivery costs will not be included in your refund.
Please note: orders of bespoke, personalised or made-to-order pieces cannot be cancelled.
Can I return an order?
We understand that sometimes a piece isn’t the perfect fit. So if you no longer want your order, our returns process will ensure it finds a new home fast.
The Vinterior Guarantee included with your purchase entitles you to 14-day returns - allowing you to return any item within 14 days of the delivery date (except in specific circumstances, detailed below).
You can return your order if...
It isn't what you expected
If what arrives isn’t what you ordered, you can open a return. Just send us some photo evidence that the listing was inaccurate, misleading or misrepresented your purchased piece, and you’ll receive a refund.
You change your mind
If you don’t feel a piece is right for your space, you can return it. Once you request a change of mind return, you’ll be responsible for shipping the piece back to your seller as soon as possible. Delivery costs are non-refundable.
It's damaged in transit
In the rare event that an item arrives damaged or defective, you have a full 30 days from the date of delivery to return it for a full refund.
If your purchase arrives broken, always let us know. If Proovia delivered the piece, we can raise an insurance claim on the seller’s behalf. Or, the seller can raise a claim with their chosen courier.
What can't I return?
Just as there are some orders you can’t cancel, there are some you cant return, too. Personalised, bespoke or made-to-order pieces are non-returnable, and non-refundable. Sellers may also reject your return if the item has been altered in any way.
Please note: pieces on our site are pre-loved, not new. They may show some wear and tear; this is not sufficient grounds for a refund, unless the seller has misrepresented the item’s condition.
Lastly, neither Vinterior nor our sellers are liable for any damages or loss sustained in transit via third parties.
I'm eligible for a return. Now what?
To initiate a return, log into your Vinterior account, then go to the relevant order page and click Create a return. In the return request, be sure to include all the details: the reason for your return, an in-depth description, and photos of any issues or damage.
How will I receive my refund?
Once the seller confirms they’ve received the item (in the same condition it was sent), we will send your refund to your original payment method.
All items are inspected on return. If the seller receives the return with damage they don’t recognise, we will not be able to process your refund and the seller may need to send the piece back to you. You will be required to cover these delivery costs.
