Biblo 160 Bookshelve

Design

The Biblo 160 bookcase from Capital is drawn with a clear, minimal idea in mind. Pure verticals, calm horizontals, and continuous surfaces give it a quiet presence, even when fully loaded. Nothing feels decorative for its own sake. The open double-sided volumes keep the piece visually light, so books and objects appear almost suspended, framed by a simple architectural grid.

There is a strong sense of order, but it does not feel rigid. The proportions are generous at around 79.5 inches high, yet the overall expression stays understated. Biblo 160 sits comfortably in contemporary spaces where clarity and calm matter more than show.

Materials & Build

A wooden structure anchors the system, giving it weight and stability at roughly 419 pounds. Onto this, glass shelves with a bronze-effect finish introduce a subtle, warm tone. The contrast between solid wood and light-reflecting glass keeps the composition from feeling flat.

Open side bays are finished with metal inserts, while metal profiles and details run through the design with a precise, linear feel. Selected compartments can be customized with a leather back, adding texture and depth without breaking the clean geometry. An internal LED option can be integrated, quietly highlighting the shelves and objects when needed.

Ease & Comfort of Use

At about 13.8 inches deep, the bookcase offers comfortable storage for books, decorative pieces, and everyday objects without projecting too far into the room. The open double-sided layout makes access simple from both sides, reducing the sense of front and back.

Because the lines are continuous and unobstructed, arranging objects feels intuitive. Everything is visible at a glance, so the piece naturally encourages a tidy, considered display rather than clutter.

Placement & Lifestyle

Biblo 160 works as easily against a wall as it does as a subtle room divider, thanks to its open structure. In living rooms, it can separate lounge and dining areas without blocking light. In a study or office, it reads as a composed, architectural backdrop rather than a heavy storage block.

Its height gives presence, yet the mix of wood, bronze-effect glass, and metal keeps it suitable for both residential and executive settings. Within the wider Capital collection, it connects naturally with contemporary pieces that favor clarity and restraint.

Longevity

The combination of a solid wooden frame, metal profiles, and sturdy glass shelves is designed for long-term use. The substantial weight and volume—around 49.4 cubic feet for shipping—hint at a robust structure meant to stay in place, not move from room to room.

Finishes in wood, leather, and metal age in a straightforward, honest way when properly cared for. The optional LED lighting is discreet enough to avoid feeling dated, while the underlying geometry remains simple and adaptable. Biblo 160 is built to hold changing collections of books and objects over many years, without demanding attention, only quietly supporting it.
