Project Overview
Brabners, an independent law firm in Liverpool, wanted to add sophistication and intrigue to their office refurbishment with a hidden bar, concealed behind a bespoke bookcase. CPA Joinery was tasked with bringing the idea to life and worked with Quest to find the right sliding solution. The TommaSlide 300 was identified as the perfect fit, offering the strength, precision, and reliability needed for such a feature.
Challenge
The bookcase was heavily loaded with books and decorative items, making weight and durability a critical factor. The primary challenge was needing a sliding system to run smoothly and quietly, blending seamlessly into a professional office environment while standing up to frequent use.
Solutions
The TommaSlide 300, with its impressive 300kg load capacity, delivered the performance required. The track was recessed into the ceiling and paired with a discreet bottom guide, creating a clean, minimalist finish. The result was a robust, smooth-running system that combined practicality with refined design helping turn a vision into reality.
