This stool is made out of 8 layers of industrial gray felt and 2 layers of veneer. We put together the felts by using epoxy resin. The curves at the bottom helped us to give it more structurally strength. Our main goal was to give this stool multiple purpose use. This model can be used as a table and a book shelf.

For a while, I've been documenting people's bookshelves as a form of portraiture; you can actually learn a lot about folks by their books' covers. Now, I'm working on a series of "ideal" bookshelves: sets of favorites—mine or someone else's—amalgamated in a picture, even if they don't usually live on shelves anywhere near each other.
Deliberately grouping the books—instead of painting them as they are serendipitously found—makes me focus much more on the physical books themselves, and in particular, the design of the spines. It's such a small place for a lot of information, with very little room for distinct characteristics, even though it's exactly what you use to identify books. As someone who does a lot of design work, I love the process of turning graphic design into art. And I love that a book is something created very personally and then mass-produced in order to affect many other people very personally. I group and paint them to turn them back into something very personal and intimate.
This set happens to be a grouping of my favorite children's books; I’ve been more influenced by books I read as a kid than books from any other time in my life.

Chin up's tilted shelving presents the spines of products to the user, reducing the need to kneel to find what is required.

Plywood, various wood veneer. A display shelf incessantly displays itself without the participation of decorative objects. With a composition of four independent shelf units of proportionately diminishing sizes, each unit suggests a distinctive content by describing its own space and may be repositioned to create varying configurations.

Life is a chaos. So is our bookshelf. We didn’t think outside of the box. We just thought many boxes. You add your playful creativity and the result is a one of a kind. Think of Varvis as a rebel among bookshelves. Conformity is for cowards. Varvis dares to be different and will recreate itself over time. Challenge your creativity! With a metallic frame, Varvis stands firmly on the ground. It’s the four wooden modules, all different in sizes, shapes and colors, that challenge your creativity. Varvis eagerly lets you build and create. Again, again and again… The idea is that, out of these modules, you can create your own unique bookshelf according to personal taste and preferences. This is Lego for big boys and girls! MATERIAL : MDF and metal

Inspired by the barcode, BarDeco is a contempory and unique set of products designed for everyday use within the home, restaurants/bars and cafes. Made from powder coated steel and solid oak, the collection includes a lampshade in two different sizes, a coat hanger and a book case. The unique design of the book case enables you to stand your books upright as well as laying them down flat. Magazines also fit very well in the larger areas.

The shelf that does not require any bolts, tacks or glue. You only need a little bit of the imagination that without a doubt is found in every home.

Biblioteq is a Cape Town art bookstore which recently relocated from Kloof Street to the Loading Bay near the Cape Quarter. To draw awareness to the move - the folk over at frank wonderment, Lowe Bull’s design company, created this interesting bookshelf. The agency designed and created a square font that, when enlarged and constructed, spells out Biblioteq. Can you see it big boy? Look real careful. Yeeeeeesssssssss. Love the inclusion of the AK-47. Always comes in handy during home time in Claremont or on shopping trips to Canal Walk it seems

Thanks to the new Liesmichl the days of dog-ears and bookmarks are gone for good. Liesmichl is not only storage for paper backs. It also keeps the pages marked for you while you have something else to do. The upper horizontal tray can be used for a drinking glass or other “reading companions.

I would like to express the beautifulness of space division into this work. I gave the geometrically vertical and horizontal divisions to this furniture composed of seemingly unstable curves, in order to make the audiences feel stability from an instable furniture.

For James Purnell, who resigned from his post as work and pensions secretary last month, emancipation from the front bench has yielded two tangible benefits: a clear conscience and free weekends. So how has he spent his first footloose weekends? Rearranging his bookshelves apparently.

My desk is always messed with unfinished books and magazines that I think I’ll need soon again, which my wife is always complaining about. These are for people who feel even bothered just to stand up from your chair, grab the mess and put it away.

The unit is flipped around and both sides are usable as a bookshelf. The title is reversable and named after Ron Arad's metal bookworm shelf. While his is sinuous this is a simple architectonic block. 
Wavy is a bookshelf system that rigorously combines design and function. It is a minimalistic product in which the thin structure and the wavy design, both vertical and horizontal, gives the ensemble an image of great solidity and lightness. With its extremely characteristic accuracy of detail and use of materials, Wavy is made entirely of "HI – MACS Natural Acrylic Stone" by LG in S28 Alpine White colour. Composed of blocks that can be laid one upon another and combined, Wavy conceals any kind of joint, thus becoming a highly elegant furnishing element with an extremely formal linear nature. It may be arranged as desired: superimposed vertically with module H.36, or horizontally, composed of 3 elements which may be combined: cm. 63 – cm. 124 – cm. 185.

Design by De Pas D Urbino, Lomazzi. Sinuous forms that move along the wall, a bookshelf that becomes a design feature.
My revolving bookcase lets you keep a whole bookcase full of books close at hand next to your desk, couch or reading chair. With twelve 8 1/2" wide compartments on its three 12" high shelves there is space for up to 8 1/2 feet of books or magazines and the clever design means you'll never need bookends. The rugged ball bearing turntable is rated for 1000 pounds ensuring that the bookcase will revolve easily even when fully loaded. This design is also available in a smaller model with only two 12" high shelves and a total height of 28 1/4".

Bookshelves are flat, so if your collection is incomplete, you have to put the books on an angle so they don’t collapse, and as a result they bend and become damaged. Because ‘4°’ leans on a 4 degree angle it allows gravity and math to protect your books, leaving your unique bookshelf neat.

Why has the traditional speaker to be put away in the corner of the room or hidden in the wall? Speaker could be displayed, and the additional function could be imparted. The object becomes the item of furniture by a simple arrangement of dvd and books. Two suggestions of shape give the possibility to arrange the interior in the modern style and to achieve a good quality of home video amplification.

It's all about the pleasure of recognition.
With its oblique expression and spring-green colour, Collect is a bookcase that has been designed for all lovers of good design who like edgy furniture and who want to use Collect as a framework to store important things - things that awake good memories. Ole Jensen explains: 'We all have special objects that refresh memories - things that have a meaning and create the pleasure of recognition.It could be anything from a football to a stone found on a walk on a beach. I wanted to design furniture that arouses immediate recognition in both design and use.'

The case was first spotted 30 years ago on a baggage carousel at Kennedy Airport by Mr. Stoppard’s wife at the time, Miriam. Curious, she approached its owner, a young man who told her what it was, and that he had obtained it from the Manhattan luggage maker T. Anthony. She promptly bought one for her husband, who, at least while traveling, has scarcely ever let go of it.
