Ostuni Column Bookcase

The bays are divided not by plain uprights but by short columns of white marble, one set between each pair of shelves. Each column is rounded at the front and squared at the back, so it reads as a half-pillar standing proud of the oak. Stacked one above another, they make two continuous lines of stone running up the full height of the case. Veining varies from block to block; the piece shown is representative, and yours will differ.

A concealed strip of warm light runs beneath every shelf, washing down the oak back panel so the compartments glow and whatever stands in them is lit without visible fittings.

The case is white oak throughout, grain running vertically on the back panels and horizontally on the shelves. Down each side, the front edge is finished with a band of reeding, the same detail that frames the Vicenza.

At the base, three flush cupboards open without handles, keeping the front as quiet as the shelves above.

Dust the oak with a soft dry cloth, following the grain. Wipe the marble columns with a soft damp cloth and dry them; avoid acidic or abrasive cleaners. Switch off the lighting before dusting near it. Anchor the bookcase to the wall with the fitting supplied.
