Flanking the room, the bookcase, with its clean horizontal and vertical lines, adds an element of functional design to a domestic space. Polished hardwoods shelves are not only a display for reading material and reference books, but a space to spotlight compact design pieces, handmade pottery, greenery and ephemera. On each shelf, the balance of literature and decoration align into a vertical amalgamation of your interests and aspirations. Inasmuch as a beautiful bookcase has the power to change any room, always remember: it’s what fills its shelves that creates the most notable transformation.
The Bookcase
Elton Bookcase by Room & Board: A minimalist design and sturdy construction give this bookcase timeless appeal. Its open design — lightly lacquered walnut shelves and a natural steel frame — is made in Wisconsin, and isn’t as imposing as a closed-back bookcase. The shelves are 16 inches deep, giving you plenty of room to house both your collection of modern art books, and your favorite vintage camera.
