Modernist Bookshelf in Oak - Galea Bibliothèque by Mokko
About the Item
The Galea Bibliothèque is influenced by modernist and brutalist architecture. Combining raw materiality with subdued forms. A mysterious geometric rhythm is created by the shadows casted by the wooden volumes.
Designed by Aad Bos and crafted in the Netherlands out of solid European oak or American walnut. The product is made to order with a production time of 7-8 weeks and customizable in design, size, material and color.
Mokko represents a collection of interior objects designed by founder Aad Bos. The Amsterdam-based studio was established in 2017 and creates custom products for interior professionals and design enthusiasts internationally.
Objects by Mokko feature a rhythm of monolithic form, created through an iteration of volumes and voids. Architectural elements are balanced, weighed and stripped from excess, until the essence of the inspiration is translated into a sculptural object that is emotionally resonant.
With respect for nature and robust furniture building, each piece is made in close collaboration with local carpenters in the Netherlands from high-quality, sustainable materials. All objects are custom-made and conceived as future heirlooms; intended to be valued, used and passed down through generations.

Mokko represents a collection of interior objects designed by founder Aad Bos. Under Aad's creative direction and values, Mokko creates timeless, sculptural objects to cherish and pass on. Mokko is based in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, and trusted by renowned interior professionals and design enthusiasts internationally. Aad's design is influenced by Amsterdam School style architecture, with its brick expressionist facades omnipresent throughout the city. Each design is the result of a balancing of volumes, voids and weight, where form follows rhythm. Creation through exploration, while searching for the sculptural composition that moves and stays relevant. Mokko combines the robustness of traditional furniture building with contemporary aesthetics. With respect for traditional craftsmanship and nature, all products of the collection are made by carpenters in the Netherlands out of solid sustainable materials of the highest quality. Each object is made with the vision to be passed down through generations and one day revive through vintage shops. Aad (1985) is a self-taught designer who was drawn to art and design from an early age. During his 20's Aad studied law and worked as a lawyer, until he was definitively captivated by the idea of creating on his own terms in the field of product design, which resulted in founding Mokko in 2017. Mokkō means 'woodcraft' in Japanese. It were Aad’s travels through Japan that inspired him to exchange his corporate and linguistic real

Large Czechoslovakian Modernist Oak and Walnut Freestanding Wall Unit by Jitona
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Versatile freestanding wall-unit/bookcase in oak, walnut, and pine with aluminum, steel, and brass accents by Jitona (1968, Lomnice nad Lužnicí, Czechoslovakia).
Five bays can be assembled in total if all pieces are utilized together - seven pine rails, three long shelves, three long cabinets (including one that is half drawers/half open storage), three long glass fronted cabinets, two shorter cabinets, three shorter glass fronted cabinets, and one drop-down cabinet/bar with glass shelves. All cabinet shelves are removable, though not adjustable. Feet for the cabinets and rails are all adjustable, and the disks on the rails offer stability and protection to both floors and ceilings when adjustments are made.
The longer pieces displayed as the three bay unit are all 35.25" long, while the shorter pieces displayed as the two bay unit are all 29.5" L.
The configuration options for this highly functional unit are limitless. The bar cabinet, five-drawer walnut chest, glass-fronted cabinets, door-fronted cabinets, and two shelves can be custom-assembled based on requirements/aesthetic preference; the shorter pieces just need to be arranged within the same two bays. The legs for all cabinets can be removed, though, depending on the heft of the items displayed/stored, wall-mounting might be required if the weight is too great for the rails alone to adequately support. The 29.38" high cabinets with legs (if using the legs) must be arranged at the bottom, leaving 64.75" of usable rail height for mounting the other pieces.
There are some fleabites to the glass (mostly to the edges concealed by the wooden frame when closed) along with light wear the wood consistent with age/use. Conservatively restored and in very fine, vintage condition.
