The MK40880 bookcase by Mogens Koch is a neat storage unit that forms part of a larger, well-thought-out storage system for modern homes. The bookcase system created by Koch is ingenious in its versatility, strength and elegant simplicity.
The simple square elevated to an art form
The MK40880 bookcase by Mogens Koch is an expression of Koch’s desire to develop a straightforward, universal solution to the challenge of everyday storage. Koch began work on the design in 1928 and completed it in 1932. The MK Bookcase System was the first modular system of its kind and remains in demand many decades later.
The exceptionally flexible system of square bookcases features an extensive range of modular elements. Its classic, six-section unit, which can be set up so that the sections are either wide or tall depending on what contents they will contain, is a brilliant construction in its own right. Minimalist and considered in every detail, each unit features beautiful dovetail and rabbet joints that lend them strength and stability.
The MK40880 bookcase unit is available in solid wood of either oak or walnut. The unit can be wall-mounted or free standing. As with most of the MK Bookcase System units, the MK40880 bookcase can be customized with additional shelves and trays.
