Story
Proportion, handcraft, natural materials
The page says the FK63 Bookcase System grew from the designers' shared interest in functionally minimalist design that focuses on proportion, handcrafted details and natural materials. It was designed in 1963 for idiosyncratic displays of functional and aesthetic objects.
Joinery
According to the page, the system uses thoughtful joinery details, with full-width cabinets that carry brass handles and open shelves with optional sliding trays; both can be customised as a collection grows.
