Description
CRAIGHILL
Books nobody wants to read — that’s exactly the point. False Books by Craighill.
False Books by Craighill — hiding spots disguised as the world’s least interesting library: magnetic closure, microsuede interior, wood and paper construction, foil-printed covers. Titles include “An Introduction to Engineering Plastics” and “Concrete Manual”. 17.1 × 10.8 × 3.8 cm, 255 g. Designed by Puebco, Tokyo.
The safest hiding spot is the most boring book on the shelf
The genius is the title. “An Introduction to Engineering Plastics” and “Concrete Manual” — two volumes that have been waiting to be opened for decades. And that’s the plan. The False Books sit on the shelf looking convincingly worn, and nobody picks them up. The magnetic closure opens in seconds; the microsuede-lined cavity holds jewellery, cash, cards, keys, and small documents — close at hand, entirely unremarkable to anyone else. Behind the concept: Craighill from New York and Puebco from Tokyo, two studios with the same conviction that everyday objects don’t need to announce themselves to work brilliantly.
The gift that lands twice
First when the person unwraps it and laughs. Then when they put it on the shelf and realise how useful it is. False Books is the gift for people who like their home to have a little wit — and who prefer their private things to stay private. It works as a housewarming gift, a birthday present for the person who has everything, or an occasion gift for anyone who takes quiet pleasure in objects that do more than they appear to.

Frequently asked questions
What fits inside the False Books?
Jewellery, cash, credit cards, keys, USB drives, small documents — anything you want close at hand but out of sight. The microsuede lining protects delicate surfaces like jewellery or lenses from scratches.
Do they actually look like real books?
Very convincingly. The foil-printed cover sits on textured, slightly roughened paper stock that replicates the feel of a well-handled reference volume. On a shelf between real books, they are indistinguishable at a glance — and nobody picks up a book called “Concrete Manual” to check.
What titles come printed on the covers?
Craighill uses deliberately unappealing titles like “An Introduction to Engineering Plastics” and “Concrete Manual” — chosen precisely because they guarantee no curious guest will ever reach for them.
Where do they work best in a home?
A bookshelf between other volumes is the ideal concealment. But they also work on a coffee table, bedside table, or sideboard — as part of a styled arrangement that happens to double as practical storage.
