the highest quality materials. The collection of bookcases ranges from ultramodern statement pieces to more traditionally styled bookcases. Bookcases can display your home library, ornaments, sculptures and movies as well as enhance the style a room. A combination of high quality oak, walnut and teak, combined with interesting shapes and angles, ensure that 4 Living’s selection of solid wood bookcases really stand out from the crowd.

Solid Oak Bookcases

Oak is one of the most common woods used to produce furniture, which has lead to it being viewed as a bit of a known quantity. With their stunning range of solid oak bookcases, 4 Living inject contemporary life back into oak furniture. The ‘Ligna’ and ‘M1’ bookcases provide a style which has more in common with a Mondrian piece than everyday household furniture. The ‘M1’ is one of those bookcases which do not need to be full of books or ornaments in order to look attractive. It does it all by itself. The ‘M1’ oak bookcase is made up of different sized cuboids, which are encased in one rectangular body. The unique design of the bookcase ensures that the different sized shelves will be extremely practical, as they can hold different size books. The ‘Ligna’ bookcase is similar, in that it uses the manipulation of right angles to create a contemporary style, but also has a different relationship with space and light. The ‘Ligna’ sits on subtle metal legs and has a combination of open, closed and backless shelves. With the wall behind partly visible, the ‘Ligna’ bookcase will help you make the most of the space at your disposal.

Solid Teak Bookcases

As with all good quality furniture, it is important that solid wood bookcases are built to last as well as please the eye. Teak, which is quite often used in outdoor furniture due to its resilient natural oils, is the perfect material for a high quality, durable and stylish bookcase. All of the Teak bookcases have a solid structure and nourished wood tone. For example the ‘Lodge’ bookcase has four thick shelves as well as a drawer for extra storage. The slim ‘LF’ teak bookcase is an elegant and versatile piece, it can double up as a filing unit in an office or a small dresser in a kitchen. The Larger ‘LF’ bookcase has traditional influences but, with its linear bronze handles and clean lines, has a distinct contemporary twist.

Solid Walnut Bookcases

4 Living are proud to offer a collection of solid walnut bookcases to suit any home, and the unique tone of the Walnut ‘Double’ bookcase truly epitomises this. Symmetry and spacing are particularly important to the human eye and particularly interesting when utilised by talented designers. The ‘Double’ bookshelf is made up entirely of unevenly sized and spaced shelves. The thicker shelves towards the bottom emphasise the solid nature of the walnut, where as the thin shelves fill space in order to create attractive lines. The uneven spacing works so well because a vertical line of symmetry remains; a feature which creates a subtle beauty.
