1. Technical information:
The bookcase is made of cast aluminum. The chrome-colored part has been sandblasted with aluminum powder to conserve the metal’s natural feel. The top has been colored using Ferrari’s own red varnish, the same as that used on their engines.
The bookstand’s legs are made of chromed steel and assembled onto the case. The legs are welded through tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, a process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to produce stronger, high-quality welds, typical in the automotive industry.
2. Handling:
The engine-inspired piece is delivered readily assembled with no further action required.
Please note the small rubber feet fitted at the bottom of each leg; these prevent the stand from directly touching the floor, and can be adjusted to regulate its height.
Make sure to always wear the gloves provided whenever handling the bookcase.
Use extra caution when opening the bookcase. The lid panels should be lifted, opened outwards, and gently lowered onto the stand’s side legs, where they will then rest without damaging the metal.
To take the book out of the case, remove the metal middle bar before removing the foam inserts, which can be placed under the open book for support.
3. Care:
Treat the bookcase like you would a V12 250 engine! The chrome-colored part is extremely sensitive to sweat, dirt, and harsh chemicals.
When cleaning, don’t use any abrasive surfaces or products. We recommend using a damp cotton cloth to remove any marks or fingerprints, as chemicals could make stains more visible.
The legs can be cleaned using water and soap, or any general glass-cleaning products.
