Midcentury Bookcase — Wood Works Brighton
We were commissioned to transform tucked-away alcoves into a statement furniture piece that radiates mid-century charm and refined storage. This bespoke midcentury bookcase combines show-case display and concealed compartments to balance beauty and practicality in a living room setting.
Crafted with dark stained oak veneer for a warm, timeless tone, the bookcase features brass detailing that nods to period elegance. Open upper shelving provides space for display of books, art and décor, while the lower cabinets are designed to hide clutter—perfect for media, accessories and everyday items. A dedicated cabinet houses the TV, integrating electronics seamlessly into the unit without compromising the overall aesthetic.
This piece reflects our commitment to hand-crafted furniture that blends function with classic style—enhancing interior spaces with carefully considered design, quality materials, and enduring mid-century appeal.
