Description
Clean, pure and elegant, the Austin oak 5 shelf bookcase evokes the spirit of classic Scandinavian designs from the 50s and 60s.;This bookcase provides a generous amount of storage space on its light, cross frame, which has a smooth, gently rounded, solid oak edge detail and complements the Austin dining tables.;Designed in house by Matt Long, this design is made from solid and veneered oak in a small factory in Estonia.;The design's slightly whitened finish is created by a matt lacquer that also protects it.
Our Stylist Says
The Austin Oak 5 Shelf Bookcase is a versatile piece that works well in both contemporary and Scandi-inspired interiors thanks to its natural timber finish and clean, minimalist design. I love how its open structure offers plenty of space for organising books, decorative accessories, or plants, making it both functional and stylish. Practical styling tips include layering favourite books with textured objects or small indoor plants to create an inviting display. It’s also worth considering pairing it with other natural timber or neutral-toned furniture to maintain a cohesive look, or using colour-coordinated storage bins on the lower shelves for a neat, organised appearance. The simplicity of this piece makes it adaptable to various rooms, from living areas and bedrooms to home offices.
