Design that stands the test of time
Function. Value for money. Build to last.
That's Cantilibra™
Cantilibra™ is shelving that has been designed intelligently and with care, to function with integrity over a long period of time.
Purity of purpose is what has created the valued Cantilibra™ look, with a flexibility to achieve a unique aesthetic for your space. Cantilibra™ is the antithesis of fashion. There are few products, designs or brands that remain relevant and fresh yet relatively unchanged over decades. Cantilibra™ shelving is exactly that. The original design by Rudolf Koreska is largely unchanged and still forms the basis of today’s Cantilibra™ range.
Now manufactured in the UK, Cantilibra™ has stood the test of time – on these strong foundations, we continue to develop options to keep in step with the demands of today’s library users.

Multi-functional
This easy-to-remove acrylic backstop keeps books neatly lined up. On double-width bays, it can be replaced by the infill profile if larger items need to be stored.
The infill profile allows double-width bays to be used without restriction, for larger items. It can also be used as a finishing touch on the tops of bays which may be seen from above.
If you need flexibility and mobility, your bays can be supplied with castors. Alternatively, our adjustable feet allow easy, accurate alignment for fixed positions.
This shelf presents magazines and other materials face-on to the user. It has a generous bottom lip
designed to retain magazines for display.
To encourage browsing, a specially designed bracket allows standard shelves to be tilted back a few degrees so that book spines are easily visible to users.
These can be used to tilt standard shelves to use as display shelves. By turning the shelf back to front, the acrylic backstop can be used to retain the displayed item.
This lipped shelf is top-hinged, allowing access to storage space behind. It’s useful for displaying magazines or other items which may need to be regularly filled.
