Bokhyllan Billy (Billy the Bookshelf)

 

If you are only going to assemble one piece of IKEA furniture in your life, let it be Billy the Bookshelf. The first shelf was created in 1978 and it is simple, cheap and comes in many different sizes and colors. Maybe that is why

this particular piece has become incredibly popular in and outside the country and is probably the one most well known of all IKEA-products. While doing research for this book I also found out there are movements out there dedicated to “pimping Billy.”
