A frame or shelf designed to hold and display books, keeping them upright and accessible.
From 'book' and 'rack' (Old Norse 'reka,' meaning to stretch or extend), a compound word naming a storage furniture piece.
The simple bookrack design—just two vertical supports—became iconic in minimalist design because it doesn't hide books but celebrates them as both functional and decorative objects.
