Bokhus shelving system
Craig Dykers
With a research initiated in 2019 UniFor and Snøhetta, have joined their DNA in the exploration of the world of libraries and their future resulting in a series of objects aiming to reshape the meaning of libraries. Bokhus is a shelving system combining Italian craftsmanship and engineering, with Scandinavian simple elegance and tactility. A union of simple shapes and complex details, skilled use of materials that combines the technicality of metal and the warmth of wood; the symbiosis between form and function.
Open, lightweight, flexible, the Bokhus shelving system is composed of terminal and central uprights with a concealed rack allowing for the free configuration of the shelves. The use of recycled aluminium, wood and cellulose make Bokhus a sustainable product. The production technique allows for each element of the product to be separated and appropriately recycled and disposed of.
