This Bookbox is crafted in dusty grey, aniline leather on the exterior with a beautiful soft turquoise on the internal base. This is our magnum leather Bookbox, but it comes in three other sizes; small, medium and large. Apart from this dusty grey and soft turquoise colour combination, the leather Bookbox also comes in a beautiful black tone with a dark blue base.
In the office the magnum leather box is an ideal storage solution in large meeting rooms and Boardrooms, for notebooks, pens, remote controls, connectors, post-it notes and whiteboard markers. With The Bookbox you have these items right at the table, where you need them, but without having the mess. Many offices have chosen the magnum leather box instead of a shelf or drawer system, not only saving space but saving the cost of a bigger piece of furniture, keeping the office or meeting room tidy and everything you need within reach.
The leather Bookbox can be personalised with initials, name, monogram or logo.
The Bookbox is our bestselling box and was the first of August Sandgren’s aesthetic storage boxes. It is an iconic box with a design that dates back to August Sandgren himself, 100 years ago. The Bookbox is made in various sizes and material and the colour combination is composed by the renowned Danish designer, Margrethe Odgaard. Margrethe designed the colour universe with inspiration from mineral rocks and each box has one colour on the exterior and another colour in the bottom inside the box. We can make bespoke colours for orders above 50 units.
