Description
A stand-out feature for a home office or living space, the Freedom Bookcase is a large structure full of potential! Made from solid walnut, the bookcase offers a unique way to display your most-loved accessories with mis-matched shelving boxes, creating a pyramid shape to certainly catch the eye. Riva 1920 offer high-quality pieces, made from authentic Italian timber to set your home décor aside, bringing passion and hand-made care to every item.
Our Stylist Says
I love this piece for its versatility and clean, modern aesthetic. It works particularly well in contemporary or minimalist interiors, but its warm walnut tone also adds a touch of richness that can anchor more sophisticated decor schemes. The unique, stepped design makes it perfect for creating visual interest, whether as a focal point in a living room or a stylish storage solution in a home office. When styling, consider grouping books and decorative objects to emphasise the geometric shape, and leave some compartments intentionally empty for a less cluttered look. It’s great for both display and everyday storage, making it a practical yet striking addition to many interior styles.

Founded in 1946, Barker and Stonehouse offer a diverse range of stylish and timeless pieces. From contemporary to traditional designs, Barker and Stonehouse brings sophistication and comfort to every room.
Born from the vision of two young RAF men, Charles Barker and Alex Stonehouse, Barker and Stonehouse emerged as a beacon of hope, infusing post-war Britain with a hint of glamour. Starting from a single store in Stockton on Tees, their entrepreneurial spirit led to rapid expansion, opening multiple stores across the region.
Their fast growth was fueled not only by their flair for business but also by their dedication to innovation. The business transformed over the years, adapting to the changing landscapes of retail, all while preserving its charm and values. By 2021, they marked an impressive 75 years in the industry, a testament to their enduring commitment to quality and customer service.
From the very start, Barker and Stonehouse has held a deep commitment to the environment. This devotion was showcased through initiatives such as the Trees4Trees Project, a reforestation effort in Indonesia.
Ensuring that for every tree used in their products, more than two were replanted, nearly 1.5 million trees have been restored under this initiative.
Their Knaresborough store, one of the greenest retail stores in the UK, further underscores their dedication to sustainable practices. As a cherry on top, by 2021, the company achieved the status of "Carbon Neutral Plus", making them a trailblazer in the furniture industry.
Over the decades, Barker and Stonehouse didn't just expand in number, but in the quality and innovation of their spaces. From opening their iconic store in Battersea, London, which beautifully preserved the characteristics of an old candle factory, to their latest state-of-the-art Gateshead store in 2023, every location tells a story.
They have also ventured into digital realms, ensuring a vast online presence and offering a wide range of products to customers all over the UK. Their partnerships, like the one with Fenwick in 2021, illustrate their adaptability and constant quest to reach new audiences.
