A bookshelf designed for the transient reader with few books. The name "ara", is an interjection describing an "aha!" moment - a feeling the user would get when interacting with the shelf.

Contemplate bookshelf

Inspired by one of the existing eco houses in Edmonton—a house that strives to reduce its environmental footprint by reclaiming or reusing materials (wood, metal, etc.), and by conserving energy and maintaining energy efficiency—a wall mounted bookshelf was designed to carry a message that is congruent with the message of the eco house. By its very existence, the eco house raises awareness of the environmental concerns that are closely tied to our daily activities. Similarly, the bookshelf also acts as a sign that warns and reminds the viewer about existing environmental concerns, particularly those associated with our consumption rate as compared to the availability of natural, raw materials. In particular, it serves to raise awareness about our paper consumption rate in comparison to the growth rate of the forests.

1,285 nails: Rocking chair bookcase

This is a project I came up with for my final in Sculpture II. The theme was to create a sight specific sculpture and I decided to build a chair-bookcase for the library of my University in order for students to understand that you can go to the library even when you don't have finals and relax, read a book or just daydream. Because many people got that wrong I need to make clear that I built this chair on my own and that's why the name of this project is dedicated to the number of nails that I screwed with tools (1.285)

Epitypephio bookshelf

A tribute to a deceased typographer who still lives in their works. This is my homage to John Baskerville, printer, publisher and  typographer. The selected letter was the lowercase “g”, and it represents the book. It is built by the union of 56 layers of hand-cut paper. The box is cut on plywood, engraved with laser and works as the bookshelf.

Meredith library seat

Cette "bibli-banquette" puise son inspiration dans un classique du mobilier, la méridienne. Le nom de ce fauteuil tout en longueur désigne en vieux français, la sieste de l'après-midi. Dans sa version bois, Meredith invite, elle, à faire une pause littéraire. Un meuble multifonctions qui s'adapte à toutes les pièces de la maison...

Globe Reader

Imaginez une bibliothèque autrement qu'avec des lignes verticales, horizontales et parallèles. Globe Reader est plus qu'un simple rangement dédié aux livres, elle investit l'espace comme un objet décoratif. Disposez comme bon vous semble les éléments. Empilez les ouvrages pour suivre le dessin des continents. Laissez libre cours à votre imagination. Une création résumée en ces quelques mots de Victor Hugo: "Lire c'est voyager; voyager c'est lire."

Book trench

Due to the north-east monsoon, waves greatly reach and moisten the oceanic trenches of northern Taipei, Taiwan from March to May, which propagates the growth of the seaweed. The design aims to capture the image of such an unique landscape. The green and parallel trenches were turned into well-proportioned bookshelf, creating multiple spaces to place books of varied sizes.
