Carlo Ran Library
The Carlo collection gathers together some of the greatest and most influential designs of a 20th-century Italian master: Carlo Forcolini. His bold, playful and unstintingly imaginative approach resulted in a succession of attention-grabbing pieces that make use of strong geometric shapes and colours – together with a touch of humour.
Forcolini’s self-supporting bookcase Ran Library is inspired by temple doors in China and Japan.

In 2012, Stellar Works was established by architects Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu in Shanghai and London, as a way to bring ideas together: East and West, heritage and modernity, craft and industry – bringing the best of the past into the light of the present.
Their aim was to inspire a renaissance in Asian aesthetics, taking the forms, styles and motifs that have characterised Japanese design across the centuries and filtering them through the lens of the European tradition to create something new and timeless.
Over the course of a career spanning more than 40 years, Carlo Forcolini has designed more than 100 objects and furniture pieces for some of the most prestigious brands in Italy.
Stellar Works believes in longevity, and the value of original design. It is always a joy to rediscover and reissue forgotten classics, injecting them with new relevance and updating the designs so that they fit beautifully and seamlessly into a contemporary context. Stellar Works Vintage Collections are a revitalisation of some of the most accomplished designs of 20th-century masters.
