Alya Rattan Large Bookcase
Original price was: R8,500.00.R7,000.00Current price is: R7,000.00.
The Alya Rattan Large Bookcase combines generous open shelving, concealed storage and beautiful woven rattan detailing in a tall contemporary design created for stylish everyday organisation.
Featuring six open display compartments and two spacious rattan-front storage cabinets, the Alya provides plenty of room for books, baskets, décor and everyday household essentials while allowing selected items to be neatly stored out of sight.
Available in Natural Wood and Walnut, its generous 160 cm height and 110 cm width make it a beautiful storage feature for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices and study areas.
Six open compartments, two concealed cabinets and beautiful rattan detailing in one versatile storage piece.
The Alya Rattan Large Bookcase brings together display space, concealed organisation and the warm natural character that defines the Alya collection.
Designed with a combination of six open compartments and two lower rattan-front cabinets, this generously proportioned bookcase allows you to create an attractive display while keeping less decorative household essentials conveniently stored away.
Measuring 110 cm wide × 40 cm deep × 160 cm high, the Alya provides substantial vertical storage without requiring excessive floor space. Its balanced proportions make it suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, home offices, studies and other indoor areas where additional storage and display space are needed.
Available in Natural Wood and Walnut, the Alya can be selected to complement a wide range of contemporary interiors.
Six Open Display Compartments
The upper section of the Alya features six generously sized open compartments, arranged in two columns across three rows.
This provides dedicated spaces for books, decorative objects, baskets, framed photographs and other carefully selected items.
The divided layout makes styling easier because items can be grouped within individual compartments rather than displayed across one continuous shelf.
Two Rattan-Front Storage Cabinets
At the bottom of the bookcase are two enclosed storage compartments, each concealed behind a woven rattan-front door.
These cabinets provide useful storage for belongings that you would prefer to keep out of sight, helping the surrounding room maintain a cleaner and more organised appearance.
The combination of open and concealed storage makes the Alya considerably more versatile than a traditional open bookcase.
Beautiful Woven Rattan Detailing
The two lower cabinet doors feature beautiful woven rattan panels framed within the surrounding furniture structure.
The woven texture creates a warm and relaxed visual contrast against the clean rectangular lines of the bookcase while connecting the piece with the distinctive design language of the wider Alya collection.
Generous 160 cm Height
At 160 cm high, the Alya makes excellent use of vertical space.
Its height provides multiple levels of storage and display while keeping the overall footprint relatively compact.
This makes the bookcase particularly useful where additional storage is required but available floor space needs to be used efficiently.
110 cm Wide Design
The generous 110 cm overall width provides substantial display and storage capacity while maintaining balanced proportions.
With two columns of open compartments and two lower cabinets, the design creates a symmetrical appearance that works beautifully against an open wall.
Practical 40 cm Depth
The Alya measures 40 cm deep, providing useful shelf and cabinet space for a variety of suitable household items.
Its depth also gives the bookcase a substantial furniture presence without unnecessarily extending into the room.
Open Shelving for Books & Décor
The six open compartments provide plenty of opportunities for personalised styling.
Create a dedicated home library using your favourite books, or combine books with ceramics, baskets, framed photographs and decorative accessories for a more curated appearance.
Leaving some open space within selected compartments can help maintain the Alya’s clean contemporary character.
Concealed Everyday Storage
Not everything needs to remain on display.
The two lower cabinets provide a practical place for household items that need to remain accessible but would otherwise create visual clutter.
This allows the upper shelves to remain focused on books and carefully selected decorative pieces.
Available in Two Finishes
The Alya Rattan Large Bookcase is available in:
- Natural Wood
- Walnut
The Natural Wood option provides a lighter and relaxed furniture appearance that works beautifully with neutral and naturally inspired interiors.
Walnut offers a deeper and warmer alternative for rooms where a richer furniture tone is preferred.
Both options retain the distinctive woven rattan cabinet detailing.
Suitable for Living Rooms
Use the Alya as a statement storage and display piece within the living room.
The generous open shelving provides room for books and décor, while the lower cabinets help keep smaller everyday belongings organised and out of sight.
Perfect for Home Offices & Studies
The Alya can also provide practical organisation within a home office or study.
Use the open compartments for books, files, reference materials and decorative objects, while suitable office essentials can be stored inside the lower cabinets.
Beautiful Bedroom Storage
In a bedroom, the bookcase can provide additional organisation for books, baskets and decorative accessories while the concealed lower compartments provide further storage.
Its natural rattan detailing allows it to coordinate beautifully with complementary bedroom furniture.
Easy to Style
For a balanced display, combine objects of different heights and textures across the six compartments.
Books can be arranged both vertically and horizontally, while baskets, ceramics and decorative pieces can be introduced to create visual variety.
Avoid overcrowding every compartment so the furniture and displayed items have room to stand out.
Part of the Alya Collection
The woven rattan cabinet fronts allow the bookcase to coordinate beautifully with other pieces from the Alya collection.
Pair it with the Alya Chest of Drawers, Bedside Table, Desk, Storage Bench Seat, TV Stand and other complementary pieces to create a cohesive furniture look throughout your home.

Care & Maintenance
Regular Cleaning
Dust the Alya Rattan Large Bookcase regularly using a clean, soft and dry microfibre cloth.
Pay particular attention to the open shelving, cabinet surrounds, top surface and edges where household dust can naturally accumulate.
Cleaning the Rattan
Use a soft, clean brush or dry cloth to gently remove dust from the woven rattan cabinet fronts.
Clean carefully around the weave and avoid pulling, scraping or applying excessive pressure to the rattan.
Shelf Care
Remove decorative objects periodically and wipe the shelving surfaces to prevent dust accumulation.
Lift objects when repositioning them rather than dragging them across the shelves.
Spills & Moisture
Attend to spills immediately using a clean, absorbent cloth.
Do not allow water or other liquids to remain on shelves, cabinet doors, edges or around furniture joints.
Avoid Excessive Water
Do not soak or saturate the furniture or woven rattan during cleaning.
If a slightly damp cloth is required for cleaning, immediately dry the surface afterwards.
Protect the Shelves
Use suitable protective pads beneath decorative objects that may scratch the surface.
Where plants are displayed, always use an appropriate waterproof tray or protective container beneath the plant pot to prevent moisture from reaching the furniture.
Avoid Overloading
Distribute books and heavier items sensibly across the shelving.
Avoid concentrating excessive weight in one compartment or overloading the shelves beyond their intended household use.
Cabinet Care
Open and close the lower cabinet doors using the fitted handles rather than pulling directly on the woven rattan panels.
Avoid slamming the doors and do not force them if an object inside is obstructing normal operation.
Avoid Harsh Cleaning Products
Do not use bleach, abrasive cleaners, scouring pads, strong solvents or harsh household chemicals on the furniture finish or woven rattan.
Heat & Sunlight
Position the bookcase away from fireplaces, heaters and other intense heat sources.
Avoid prolonged exposure to strong direct sunlight where possible, as this may gradually affect the appearance of furniture finishes and woven materials.
Safety & Stability
Position the bookcase on a stable and level indoor surface.
Because this is a 160 cm high furniture piece, appropriate anti-tip securing is recommended where necessary, particularly in households with children. Do not allow children to climb or hang from the shelves or cabinet doors.
Indoor Use Only
The Alya Rattan Large Bookcase is designed for indoor use only.
Keep it in a clean, dry and well-ventilated interior environment and protect it from rain and excessive humidity.

Exactly What Our Living Room Needed
We had an empty wall in our living room for quite some time because I couldn’t find a bookcase that offered both display space and hidden storage. The Alya was exactly what I had been looking for. I can display my favourite books and décor on the open shelves while keeping less attractive everyday items inside the cupboards at the bottom. The woven rattan doors give the bookcase so much character and stop it from looking like an ordinary shelving unit. I’m very pleased with the size and how much storage it provides.

Plenty of Storage Without Looking Cluttered
The layout of this bookcase is very well thought out. Having six separate open compartments makes it easy to organise everything neatly instead of having one long shelf that becomes overcrowded. I’ve used a mixture of books, baskets and decorative pieces, and it looks beautiful. The two cupboards underneath are also very useful for storing items that I don’t want visible. Despite offering so much storage, the bookcase still has a clean and balanced appearance. The rattan detailing finishes it off beautifully.

Beautiful Combination of Open and Closed Storage
What I love most about the Alya Large Bookcase is the combination of open shelving and concealed storage. I enjoy displaying books and decorative pieces, but there are always other things that need somewhere to be stored. The two cupboards at the bottom solve that problem perfectly. The six open sections also make styling much easier because each compartment can have its own arrangement. The woven detailing on the doors adds warmth and texture, and the entire piece has made our living room feel much more organised.

Looks Amazing in Our Home Office
I purchased the Alya for my home office and it has completely transformed the space. I use the open compartments for books, files, storage baskets and a few decorative items, while the cupboards underneath are perfect for keeping extra office supplies out of sight. I particularly appreciate the height because it gives me a generous amount of storage while using vertical space efficiently. The rattan detailing also means it doesn’t look like typical office furniture, which was important to me because I wanted the room to still feel warm and inviting.

So Much Useful Storage Space
This bookcase has been incredibly useful for organising our home. There are six open compartments, so I can separate books, baskets and décor rather than having everything mixed together. The lower cupboards are equally useful because they provide additional storage for items we prefer not to display. I was also pleasantly surprised by how substantial the bookcase looks without making the room feel overcrowded. The woven doors add a lovely decorative element and make the entire piece feel much more special than a standard bookshelf.

Beautiful Piece for Displaying Decor
I wanted a large bookcase primarily for displaying books and décor, and the Alya has worked beautifully. The separate compartments make it very easy to create small arrangements without everything looking cluttered. I’ve mixed books with ceramics, framed photographs and baskets, and there is still room to add more. Having enclosed cupboards at the bottom is an excellent feature because anything that isn’t attractive enough to display can simply be packed away. The rattan doors add lovely texture and make the bookcase a feature piece in its own right.
