Acerbis Ghostwriter Wall-Mounted Desk/Bookcase in Glossy Lacquered Brick Red
Located in Brooklyn, NY
Suspended home-office cabinet. The opening of the unit, characterized by the Dual-Flap® system (patented Acerbis) in which the large door and a portion of the top open simultaneously, transforms the door into practical desk and reveals the interior, finished in eucalyptus wood and perfectly arranged with shelves, small drawer for pens and power plugs (2 Shuko and 2 USB). At the same time, the small top remains open with the right angle to facilitate access to the compartment and illuminate the interior with a continuous beam of light, thanks to a LED lamp perfectly integrated in the thickness of the top. Finishes: - Door and top glossy or matt lacquered. - Sides and internal uprights matt lacquered in the colour of the door. - Interior in Eucalyptus veneer. Colors: Black, White, White SW, Ghiaia Grey, Pietra Grey, Fumo Grey, Lino, Sabbia, Warm Grey, Argilla, Red NY, Red Vico, Blue Iseo, Green Iseo. Born in Milan in 1981, Giacomo Moor, after graduating in Design with a final dissertation on wood published by Abitare, opened his studio with his partner. With his multidisciplinary team, designers and woodworkers, he designs products for companies, he creates limited editions for galleries, produces unique pieces for private clients, and he is engaged in every step of the process. Giacomo Moor unites the precision and the formal rigour of the design with the sensitivity of manual craftsmanship, his empirical and resolving approach, and his capacity to combine technical and aesthetical skills, managing the production process, are constant elements of his working method. Additional Information: Material: Solid wood Frame finish: Glossy lacquered brick red LL24 Dimensions: 154 W x 68 D x 23 H cm Available in other frame finish options: Glossy lacquered white LL02, Glossy lacquered SW white LL09, Glossy lacquered linen LL10, Glossy lacquered sand LL12, Glossy lacquered clay LL15, Glossy lacquered mustard yellow LL23, Glossy lacquered burgundy LL20, Glossy lacquered pink LL21, Glossy lacquered dark green LL22, Glossy lacquered Navy blue...

Vintage and Antique Bookcases for Sale: Shop Art Deco Bookcases, Globe Wernicke Bookcases and Barrister Bookcases on 1stDibs

Whether you proudly shelve your books in regal mahogany or behind glass cabinet doors, an antique bookcase — or perhaps more than one — is essential to creating a cozy nook for any book lover.

As long as curious people have collected stories, we have needed a place to stow them away and preserve them. When auction houses and book dealers proliferated by the late 17th century, the bibliophile was born. And, of course, as with any treasured decorative objects or collectibles, a book lover’s volumes were suddenly worthy of a luxurious display — enter the bookcase.

Americans of means during the 19th century took to amassing art as well as rare books, and bookcases of the era — rife with hand-carved decorative accents and architectural motifs — were ideal for displaying their handsome leather-bound wares.

Although our favorite titles may change over the years, the functionality and beauty of their home within our home is timeless. Even those who don’t covet the perfect home library can benefit from an attractive display case, as bookcases can easily double as charming étagères

Contemporary and customizable options make it easier for you to find the perfect bookcase for your style and stacks. If you don’t wish to fill your storage piece so that your collection is snug within its confines, incorporate extra space to allow for additional displays and decorative objects. And by introducing a striking dark wood Art Deco bookcase or low-profile mid-century modern design by Paul McCobb into your living room, your signed first editions won’t be the only items making a statement. 

Find barrister bookcases, Globe Wernicke bookcases, bookcases with doors and other vintage and antique bookcases on 1stDibs now.
