Welcome to the home of the genuine Reska Library Shelving system
Reska Library Shelving is the most popular Library Shelving System in the world
Reska was developed in 1949 by Rudolph Koreska in Denmark. Like all good design, the essential cantilever structure has remained basically the same through the years. Testament to the fundamental soundness of the system are the thousands of installations in libraries around the world.
As demands from libraries - of all types - have changed the system itself has developed, most recently with the introduction of a completely new, textured, anti-bacterial finish to all the steel surfaces Activecoat®. As well as its anti-bacterial properties the finish has a slip-resistant effect, keeping shelves tidier.
In recent times we have increasingly been asked to add graphic and coloured panels to the system - this often has the effect of completely changing the overall look of the product. Some images of installations are featured in our RESKA brochure.
We are confident that RESKA continues to be an essential ‘building-block’ for the modern library, adaptable to a variety of interiors - at a more than affordable price. Please contact us for more information.
In 1949, Rudolf Johan Koreska designed and developed the modular shelving system Reska. Rudolf Johan Koreska was a Danish locksmith, businessman and company founder. He was the man behind the Ruko lock and not least Reska furniture.
In 1950 he applied for a world patent for the shelving system and he named it Reska, which is the ending of his surname. In 1950, Koreska established the furniture company Reska in Birkerød in Hvidegaard. Up through the 60s we had 4 companies and more than 300 employees. In 1977, we were acquired by the furniture company Labofa A/S, which continued under the name Reska until 2002. Labofa Munch A/S was split in November 2008 into Labofa A/S and Munch Furniture A/S, respectively, with Reska becoming part of Munch Furniture A/S.
In the summer of 2011, Reska will again become a dedicated company specializing in library environments and offices. The Reska brand is bought by John Jacobsen who has worked with sales, project management and the production of Reska since 1998, both at home and abroad. At Reska we sell our products both at home and abroad and we collaborate with architects and designers and also make our own library and office layout.
