OPENbookshelf
An open structure
The OPEN bookshelf is a lightweight, symmetrical support structure which, thanks to its regular pattern, brings a sense of calm and rhythm to the room. The grid of slats forms compartments of equal size, with internal dimensions of 20.5 cm in width and 25.5 cm in height. The individual compartments hold the books upright and also allow for customised grouping. We're also happy to realize custom heights of up to a dizzying 338 cm upon request. You'll need a ladder, though.
Blossom up
The vertical slats open outwards from the centre, so that the books are presented to the viewer: OPEN unfolds like a bouquet of flowers. Or like an open book. You can smell the scent and read within.
Material
OPEN reveals its inner workings on its flush outer detailing: eleven cross-laminated layers of birch plywood, visually reminiscent of the iconic Manner biscuit, result in an extremely robust load-carrying structure: the shelf can be fully loaded without any hesitation. The OPEN bookshelf is manufactured locally in Untergroßau and Graz.
Assembly
Remarkably, the OPEN bookshelf consists of just a few simple components. Vertical and horizontal slats slot into one another, the joints are secured with small screws, and the piece is fixed to the wall. All mounting hardware and instructions are included in the package. The bookshelf can be taken apart again in a few simple steps and easily reassembled in a new location. You can download the assembly instructions here and look through them in advance:

Perfect solution
We were looking for a bookcase that wasn't too deep, so we could hide it perfectly behind a corner. A perfect solution.

Pleasant Surprise
My partner simply ordered OPEN online without ever having seen it in person. I had serious doubts about its practicality, but I must say I am very pleasantly surprised. The wall not only looks good, it invites you to read, is cosy and holds a great many books. Large books are a bit more difficult, but it's manageable. There is still space at the bottom.
