Buchstabler

Tom Fischer

Buchstabler can store a maximum amount of paperbacks with a minimum use of materials. When it is fully loaded the revolving piece is almost invisible and lets the books take centre stage.

Rotating platform for your favourite books

Each level accommodates approximately 25 books in a space-saving and clearly arranged system. Depending on individual use, Buchstabler can grow from the height of a side table with two levels to a book tower with seven levels. Thanks to ball bearings of glass marbles you can reach your next favourite book at all times and from all sides.

Grows with your requirements

Buchstabler can store a maximum amount of paperbacks with a minimum use of materials. When it is fully loaded the revolving piece is almost invisible and lets the books take centre stage. Each level accommodates approximately 25 books in a space-saving and clearly arranged system. Depending on individual use, Buchstabler can grow from the height of a side table with two levels to a book tower with seven levels.

Glass marbles for smooth rotation

The customary ball bearings have been replaced in the Buchstabler by hand-sorted glass marbles. As glass marbles are responsible for smooth rotation and should remain in series according to their size, a special marble sorting machine was devised. It rattles around in our logistics centre so Buchstabler can continue its calm, consistent rotation.

Material Properties and Care

FU Black (birch plywood)

Material properties:

Several birch veneers are cross-glued, creating a material with a high level of dimensional stability. Generally our birch plywood panels are surface-coated or oiled. They are produced in Finland. The slowly-growing trees in the Finnish climate create fine-grain wood of consistently high quality. The following properties can occur: knot inclusions on the edge and possibly different edge colors (image 1), inclusions, glossy stripes or matt areas on the surface (image 2).

Cleaning and care:

Light surface soiling on the untreated edges can be removed using fine-grain sandpaper. Coated surfaces can be cleaned using a soft cloth with lukewarm water and a small amount of colourless washing-up liquid. Please only wipe oiled surfaces with a slightly damp cloth and as necessary treat with colourless oil.
