About BILLY
The BILLY bookcase has been sold since 1979 and more than a hundred million have been made. It is used as an informal price index in some economic commentary because its specification has changed so little over four decades. It is produced at a single plant in Sweden that turns out one unit roughly every few seconds when running at capacity.
