The idea behind 'A Book Box' is that those hardcovers that you haven't picked up in a while might be given a second task and some overdue appreciation. What's suggested is that such a storybook might be temporarily repurposed as a cupboard door on a cubby.
Aust & Amelung have crafted a collection of open wooden crates designed to mounted on the wall. These would come in all different rectangular dimensions to specifically fit the size of a particular book.
By fixing a pair of dowels along the insides of the front and back covers, the volume can be fit into the narrow tracks of 'A Book Box.' Simply side the open book up and down to reveal a storage space behind the beautiful dust jacket.
