That item has been discontinued, but here are similar options.
Bookcases make one of two choices for a wall: they add a block of mass, or they stay open and let the wall show through. AURA's range covers both, from low solid wood cases to tall sculptural frames, and if you want a top edge that softens a hard wall, start with our arched bookcases.
Mass or frame: the first bookcase decision
A case with a back panel and solid sides reads as one block. That weight steadies a room full of windows and soft upholstery. An open frame lets the paint color run through the shelves instead, so the piece takes up less of the room than its footprint suggests. Our etageres sit at the open end of that scale, with no back and no solid sides, which is why an open etagere suits a small room that already feels full.
Sizing a bookcase to the wall you have
Bookcase height and the ceiling line
A piece that stops well short of the ceiling draws a second horizon across the wall, and the room can look lower than it is. Our tall bookcases start at 60 inches and some run past seven feet, high enough to read as part of the wall instead of something parked in front of it.
Bookcase width and the gaps a room leaves
Few rooms offer a clean eight foot wall. More often you get the stretch beside a doorway or the panel between two windows. Our narrow bookcases are 24 inches wide or less and many still carry real height, so a slim bookshelf can fill a corner without pinching the walkway.
Wood bookcases, from walnut to bamboo
Wood makes up most of this collection, in teak, walnut, oak, mahogany, mango, acacia and bamboo. Finishes run from pale natural oak to hand rubbed black. In daylight a walnut or dark sienna surface looks fairly even. Under a single warm lamp the grain comes forward and the backs of the shelves drop into shadow, so a wood case looks deeper at night than at noon. If warm wood and clean lines are what pull you in, our mid century modern bookcases start from that pairing.
Teak and walnut bookcases with carved fronts
Some of the teak and walnut pieces carry carved X fronts, staggered cubbies or asymmetric shelves. Give one of these a wall with space around it. Pushed into a tight alcove, a carved front loses its shape.
A solid bamboo bookcase for quieter rooms
Solid bamboo comes here in amber and caramelized stains, plus black walnut. Its fine, linear grain stays calm on a wall even at full height, and that calm suits Japandi and Organic Modern rooms.
Open bookcases and bookcases with doors
Most pieces here are open. A few close the lower section behind doors, and a couple add drawers. Open shelves at floor level collect what nobody wants on display: chargers, board games, overflow. A closed base hides that clutter and gives the shelves above a solid plinth, so a modern bookcase with a cabinet below looks grounded instead of busy. In a living room that gets daily use, the base is worth having.
Plan for the books you will own
Buy only for the books you have today and the case fills sooner than you expect. A shelf packed edge to edge reads as storage, not as part of the room. Leave roughly a third of every shelf open: a stack laid flat, one object, a gap. That open space separates bookshelves that look collected from bookshelves that look like overflow.
Bookcase depth decides what fits
Measure two things before you shop for style: the depth of your oversized books and the clearance in front of the wall. Shelves around 11 to 14 inches deep handle paperbacks and keep a tight room open. Shelves around 16 to 18 inches take art books and ceramics, and they hold more shadow, which suits a dark room. Pair deep shelves with an open back and the wall color shows behind the objects, so the piece reads in layers instead of as a flat face.
Low bookcases and long walls
Low bookcases get less attention than tall ones, and they solve a different problem. Set one under a window or along the back of a sofa and it runs a long horizontal line through the room, with space on top for art, a lamp or a stack of books. Under a high ceiling, that line keeps the rest of the furniture from floating in all that height.
