Story
A new way of living
Serie 500 starts from close attention to how people want to live now. Traditional elements take on different functions, and unexpected compartments open the doors of memory and recall the warmth of home.
A modular concept
The Serie 500 storage cabinet writes another chapter in Tacchini's collaboration with the Gianfranco Frattini Archive. Model 500/3 follows a modular concept avant la lettre: a bench element comes first, and modules are then added to it in length and height.
