Mogens Koch

MK Bookcase System

Sold

The image features six solid oak modular bookcases from the iconic MK Bookcase System, designed by Danish architect Mogens Koch in 1928. Arranged here in a clean layout of three columns and two rows, each individual square module measures 76 x 76 cm with a standard depth of 27.5 cm, bringing the total setup to a width of 228 cm and a height of 152 cm. This functionalist masterpiece is celebrated for its mathematical versatility, as each unit can be rotated 90 degrees to change the internal shelf heights for different book sizes. The design beautifully highlights the natural wood grain and exquisite cabinetmaker craftsmanship, showcasing the elegant dovetail joints on the corners that have made this system a timeless staple of Scandinavian modernism.
