B98 Bookcase
Eighty years of continuous relevance — the book boxes Mogens Koch designed in 1944 still assemble into whatever their owners need.
This is the deepest of the standard B98 cases — 12.6 inches — in solid oak, nature lacquered, from FDB Møbler. Koch, a building architect and Academy professor, designed the boxes to stack, lie horizontally, or hang on the wall, and each shelf is tested to 44 lbs.

Common Questions
What is the 12.6-inch depth best for?
Larger formats — art books, binders, and oversized volumes that overhang shallower shelves. For standard hardcovers the 11-inch depth is usually enough, and paperbacks fit the 7.9-inch case.
Can it hang on the wall?
Yes — wall-mounting a single case is one of the three classic B98 arrangements, alongside stacking into a bookcase and laying cases horizontally as a low shelf.
