About the Item

This striking three-bay bookcase, crafted from solid oak, features a warm, rich patina that highlights the wood’s natural grain and age. Generous in scale and presence, its bold, architectural form evokes the spirit of Pierre Jeanneret’s elegance, blending brutalist strength with refined simplicity. The open shelving, beautiful from both sides, provides ample space for books, objects, or curated displays, while the solid construction ensures lasting function and stability. Its honest materials and clean lines make it a seamless fit in both minimalist and design-forward interiors. A timeless piece, this bookcase is as sculptural as it is practical—offering depth, texture, and character to any space. This modern piece has a really strong impression that pairs well with many types of interior styles. A Mid Century, Scandinavian, Classic, Antique or an Art deco home decor.
