Elegant proportions and the luminous grain of the elm define this Nordic bookcase from the 1930s and 1940s: minimalist in spirit, yet generous in storage. The upper section combines open shelves with a drop-leaf door that opens into a writing surface, revealing additional shelves and small drawers for documents.
