About Thorvald Lissau

One of our great Danish classic furniture makers visited Lissau a/s in the 1960s - he nodded appreciatively at the bookcase: 'It will be a classic, Lissau' - he said to my father, Henrik Lissau.

The bookcase is built of solid wooden slats, alternating between vertical and horizontal. This gives a light, elegant and floating construction. The bookcase comes in untreated solid oak slats or with clear bio-oil, and can also be ordered in other woods.

The bookcase is designed and developed by the Lissau family. The founder, manufacturer Thorvald Lissau, started producing exclusive wooden blinds and roller blinds in 1922. Later, the Lissau shelving system was developed by designer and director Henrik Lissau. The first, in oak, saw the light of day in 1962: an airy, elegant piece of furniture made of solid wooden slats, where countless combinations are possible.

Owner Thomas Lissau is also a cabinetmaker and has expanded, updated and continued the elegant shelving system. Today, Thomas and his wife Lotte are in charge of production and sales of this classic icon.

  • 4. DOUBLE

    DOUBLE is a fan favourite because it's hugely practical and beautiful at the same time. It has a large amount of space without taking up the whole room. It's one of the best-selling bookcases, and for good reason: it's hard to find a comparable bookcase on the market, so it really is one of a kind.

    Width: 61 cm (24 in), 119 cm (46.8 in), 177 cm (69.7 in) or 235 cm (92.5 in)
