Sexy bookshelf

Design outcome can be sensible, sensual, sentimental, senseless or downright Sensational. I took up a study on sensational designs by its attributes to understand why some designs are absolutely sensational. To design a SHELF was the focus here, a single line flowing through the shelf to make out an expression, a shelf that makes the observer go 'wow', in this case plain 'sexy ;)

Bookcase in the Medicean Library, Florence.

The bookcases are of walnut-wood, a material which is said to have been prescribed by the Pope himself. They were executed, if we may believe Vasari, by Battista del Cinque and Ciapino, but they are now known to have been designed by Michelangelo.

More: zig zag bookcase

The furniture can serve as shelving, a resting platform, display or even as a seat. It can act as a suspended wall unit, an open bookcase against the wall, or it can be used as a dividing wall to separate the spaces in a room or other environments, thanks to the innovative possibility whereby it can be anchored or suspended from the ceiling.

Cell

It has been proclaimed a ’future classic’. It has been called ’innovative’, ’the world’s most beautiful bookshelf’, ’a pearly drape for books’. But Cell, designed by Peter Cohen, is also a hightech shelving system, brilliant in its design and use of space. Cell looks incredibly light, with its paper-thin shelves and its sleek appearance. People tend to ask “what can you put on it?” The answer is that you can fill it with books; as many books you can fit in the rack - without a hint of bowing in its thin laminated steel shelves.
