DESCRIPTION

+

The Large Bookbox is the biggest of our boxes, and easily holds your large piles of clutter – in your home and office space. Use it for pens, remote controls, handheld devices, notebooks, post-its, chargers, and anything else that takes up space and disturbs the eye, but which you need within immediate reach, or keep your most cherished belongings safe and stored perfectly.

The Bookbox is our bestselling box and was the first of August Sandgren’s aesthetic boxes for storage. The box is named ‘The Bookbox’ as it takes its origin from the beautiful old bookboxes, in which people would place their most valuable books to take extra good care of them.

This Bookbox is crafted in the most exquisite surplus leather from one of our amazing surplus leather partners e.g., Ecco Leather, Sorensen Leather and Fredericia Furniture. Crafting boxes from surplus materials means that sometimes there are small colour variations between batches and smaller – almost invisible – natural marks. We call it perfectly imperfect. 

The colour of this Bookbox is black, and most often we will also have cognac and grey in our assortment. Sometimes, when materials are available, we will have other beautiful colours. The surplus leather box is always the same colour on the exterior and the interior, and apart from this large size, it also comes in a medium and fusion size. 

Dimensions: 36/26/8.5 cm (A4 in internal measures)
Material: Surplus leather. The exact type of leather may differ from time to time, as this box is made from surplus leather and the leather quality used therefore depends on the available screenings of leather. The leather is however always among the highest quality of European leather.
Colour: Black both on the exterior and interior. The exact colour may change depending on the available surplus leather, however, if more than one box is ordered we will make sure it is the same leather quality and colour sent
Production location: Handmade in Portugal
Logo placement: Discreetly blind debossed inside the lid
Personalisation: Possible to deboss initials, name, monogram, or logo on the top of the lid of the box

CHERISH YOURprecious belongings

August Sandgren

A modern company built on old traditions. Founded in 1920 by the era's preeminent bookbinder and box-maker, the workshop fell quiet for decades before being rediscovered — its patterns, materials and craft adapted for the way we live now. A century on, we still believe old crafts hold something worth keeping.
