Customize your interior with a JOA custom-made bookcase

The bookcase as a reflection of your interior

Bookcases are real highlights in your interior design. In addition to providing storage space in areas of your home that are often less used, they are the perfect place to express who you are !
Indeed, it is the ideal room to showcase your superb book collection, a unique piece, a sculpture, beautiful family photos, a great vacation souvenir or the latest trendy piece purchased in the little store on the corner. Or all of the above !

At JOA, we have a wide range of customized bookcase proposals, each more original and unique than the last, in terms of form and function, which can enhance both your heritage and the objects you hold dear.

The multifunctional

We can offer you custom-made bookcases for a space constrained by your architecture, that is to say a piece of furniture that allows you to better structure your room by combining functions such as the integration of a TV cabinet, a side desk. Would you like to integrate a bench and reading corner? We can create a cocoon area dedicated to this purpose. Why not even create a bookcase that divides spaces in a natural and light way?

As you can see, there are plenty of ways to make your home a real source of well-being, where ergonomics and functionality are in perfect harmony with aesthetics. A JOA made-to-measure bookcase can be a real chameleon, so don’t hesitate to get in touch with us here to talk about your future project.

Our creativity for your project

We like to be able to offer our customers a wide choice of structures for their custom-made layouts. Some may prefer an organic feel, while others may feel more at ease with more linear furniture. By offering models that incorporate curves and Y-pillars, we echo nature and its unstructured, airy side, like a tree.

The U-post model, on the other hand, lightens the composition and structure with reassuring lines. Alcoves highlight certain parts of the furniture and create a dynamic by playing with open and closed volumes. You are then free to choose solid wood or steel shelves, or a combination of the two.

Some will opt more for our emblematic Po bookcase model, a wooden structure covered with a wooden or steel “skin”, which will give it character in a very minimalist and subtle way. These bookcases have more rectilinear volumes, but contrary to what you might think, you won’t be limited in creativity. A more unstructured composition is always possible and no less interesting.

Bamboo, solid oak, steel

In addition to the choice of structure, we offer a wide choice of colors and finishes. As far as wood is concerned, you know that we are big fans of bamboo for most of our custom-made furniture. But did you know that oak is also one of our favorites?

It has many advantages, in addition to being more local, it allows you to have visual consistency with your current furniture, your floor. Its multi-ply structure gives it a strength and stability similar to that of bamboo. Made to measure in Vendée, these solid oak panels are of great nobility. The characteristic flame of the oak is sublimated by our forms. This brings a crazy charm to the whole, while keeping the characteristic style of JOA.

In addition, the integration of steel in our furniture gives us a pure and airy style. The thinness and strength of steel allows us to meet many criteria. These sheets are treated by a thermosetting paint technique, giving the possibility of having a wide choice of colors for the most daring among you.

Hardware, details that make a difference

And that’s not all. JOA is constantly researching and developing to take your projects even further. We now also offer brass hardware, a noble material that brings a unique identity to your home. The marriage with bamboo and oak is successful whatever your choice of finish.


You will find these little jewels, which have been imagined and designed to measure, to be able to offer you a coherent piece of furniture down to the smallest detail. Our assortment includes various handles for all types of doors and drawers, hinges that allow you to open 180°, screws adapted to various thicknesses and materials, and connecting elements.

These are all elements that will bring that little bit of soul to your bookcase or other custom-made furniture.
