Element Bookshelf

​​Your Thos. Moser furniture is made from premium hardwood provided by nature. The unique characteristics and the subtle variations in grain and color are important elements in our designs. Great care is taken to skillfully match the individual boards that make up every piece of our furniture.

Our furniture is finished with oil and lacquer. After each piece of furniture is carefully hand-sanded, it receives a coat of our proprietary oil blend. A day’s drying time is allowed, and the piece is lightly sanded, ready for the final finish.

After oiling, our pieces are finished with catalyzed lacquer. This finish is water, solvent, and household chemical resistant and does not require routine maintenance.

To clean, dust regularly with a soft dry cloth. When necessary, furniture can be wiped with a slightly damp, soft cloth. Re-wipe any remaining moisture immediately with a dry cloth.

The Element Bookshelf is noteworthy in its restraint, favoring a simple, utilitarian structure that recruits open space as a vital design accent. Freed of a closed back and sides, the bookshelf's open, airy profile focuses attention as much on what it holds– whether a library of first editions, framed photographs or other accents of everyday life.

The small Element Bookshelf has two fixed shelves at the top and bottom, and two adjustable middle shelves, resulting in a compact profile with abundant capacity. The large version incorporates three fixed shelves – top, center and bottom – with four adjustable shelves. The shelves – like the supporting structure – are crafted of durable North American hardwood, meticulously finished to expose its striking grain structure. The adjustable shelves rest on secure pins, which can move to alter their height.

The frame of the bookshelf is comprised of straight lengths of hardwood, with intricate exposed finger joints at the top corners, and wooden pins at the base. It's uncompromisingly durable and will keep its integrity for a lifetime – even generations.

Designed by Adam Rogers, the Element Collection was first introduced at NeoCon 2013, where the Element Desk and Credenza earned a silver award for Case Goods at the Contract Magazine Best of Neocon Awards.
