Umbra Invisible Bookshelf

October 4, 2011

The invisible bookshelf in the kitchen is finally up! Yay! And the effect is exactly as I hoped. Despite buying it together, TD was still baffled when he saw it. Mission accomplished. Haha!

I remember getting some good feedback from friends who agreed with me that invisible floating shelving was a neat idea. I was weighing these 2 options from Umbra which carry a good amount of books…

(screen caps of my Pinterest)

Because the second option was actually smaller than pictured, and probably couldn’t hold some of my heavier cookbooks, I opted for the first option, the Umba Conceal Grande.

      • Winner of the Umbra-Pratt Design Competition
      • Floats large books
      • 20 lb (9 kg) max load
      • 10 inches (25.4 cm) max book depth
      • Recommend directly screwing into stud
      • Hardware Included
Check out the drawer space I freed up! It’s also easier to spot all my recipe books on the floating shelves than digging it out of a drawer.
I have another Conceal Grande in the study. We placed between our workstations so we can place books we regularly refer to. Okay who am I kidding… the books I regularly refer to! Hehehe! You can see it here. More information on Umbra Conceal Grande here.
