Lotus retro bookshelf

Cabinet chair

Have you just managed to think out of the box? Get back in and Google the world! The first Cabinet Chair was designed for the lobby of a hotel. Guests can have a look at brochures and books in this chair. Moreover, it is possible to use the internet with a build in monitor and keyboard. It’s the perfect information desk with a twist. In libraries, flexible working places, a waiting room or at home it can be a beautiful eye catcher too.

Flying bookshelf

The Flying Bookshelf requires no assembly since each book is fitted with a mechanism which allows it to hover in the air. A new app for the iPhone allows users to emit a bird-like whistle which corresponds to individual titles so that each volume can be delivered to the reader without the need to rise from their chair.

Comb

The bookshelf is a flat-pack product, easy to put together, yet attractive. It bulges from the wall like a sector of a sphere, creating a sci-fi effect in the room. Besides being an eye-catcher, it is also practical and the film-coated plywood is easy to clean.

Sliding Shelf

A wooden board is fixed on the wall and supports a number of boxes. They can be hanged, removed, slid freely, always changing the layout of the shelves. The back of the boxes are constructed in such a way that they compose with the board a plane surface combining different colours and materials.

Hamachi

Hamachi er et opbevaringsmøbel der består af 5 hylder, der kan åbnes og lukkes med fleksible latexbånd. Jeg har forsøgt at arbejde med tilgangen til opbevaringsmøblet på en ny måde, og med enkle virkemidler at udfordre den klassiske skabslåges funktion og æstetik.

Le Bouc

Red, mobile and handy, Bouc is your ideal companion for reading. Bouc, a small, varnished piece of furniture dedicated to books, can either be an extension to your library, an occasional table for reading or placing books, or a desk for your book of the moment. Bouc loves books. It supports them, open or closed, keeps them available at all times, whether you are in your office, drawing room or garden.
It was designed by Mathieu Gabiot, edited by Speculoosbook and made in Belgium.

Zelli

Cest une étagère qui reprend dans sa forme un système graphique issu dune structure en zellige (mosaïque marocaine). Le meuble Zelli est composé de 8 modules identiques, qui s'emboîtent et s'assemblent grâce à 3 formes de découpes différentes. Cette variation au niveau de la découpe n'a aucune incidence sur la forme du module, d'où un ensemble harmonieux et parfaitement symétrique. Le meuble est donc auto-structurant et auto-bloquant, c'est-à-dire qu'il ne vous faudra ni clou, ni vis, ni connaissances en bricolage pour monter le Zelli en dix minutes de façon solide et durable

Off the wall

The idea was to make a 3-dimensional wallpaper, which gives an additional function more than just decoration. The wallpaper would roll out away from the wall as if it came to life. Wallpapers goes out into the room, test their limits and turn a moment into something else and then go back and establish themselves in their traditional role and place.

Tok&Stok Bookcase

Tok & Stok

Bookshelf

Isaac Layman's unnervingly banal color photographs of household items are astonishingly subtle in their perception-based tomfoolery. The Seattle artist's earliest work on view presents an almost-seamless image of a bookcase whose spines are turned away from the camera, so that the books become little more than nameless swathes of bound paper. The viewer's impulse to scan the shelves for familiar titles is doubly thwarted when they notice that the photograph almost seems to shift its perspective, depending on where the viewer looks. Almost imperceptibly, Layman has combined photographs taken from different vantage points in creating Bookcase, resulting in a deceptive network of impossible sightlines.

Hanging Bookcase

Using less material for its construction that typical bookcases, the Hanging Bookcase was inspired by the racks used to dry laundry. Each book envelopes a vertical wire (which positions it), with its base resting on a horizontal wire (which bears its weight). The space between the wires and books gives a high degree of transparency, and the bookcase itself is lightweight.
The grid format in which the books are arranged makes it easy to locate each specific book, and they can be easily categorised. The space between the wires differs, however, to suit different book thicknesses. At the left of the Hanging Bookcase, the wires are six centimetres apart; the remaining wires are four centimetres apart. The wires are tightly strung to resist deformation, even when significant weight is applied. The size of the bookcase was determined by the scale and load-bearing strength of steel wire.
The wires can also be used as bookmarks, with the book slotted onto the wire at the appropriate page. The yellow book cards, which are hung on the horizontal wires, can be used for classification purposes and to assist with locating books quickly.

Book Cell + Passage

Book Cell will gather editions from the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation from the past 50 years, reinforcing the site specific nature of the work with the incorporation of one of the most precious streaks in the history of the cultural intervention of this institution.

 

The "Passage" represents a kind of symbolic "short cut across the world" in which we exist or dwell: through the factual, real world into the world of human culture, where reality is exchanged for another - virtual - reality, for the reality of word, text, sign, symbol, image, and back again.
The project itself is a metaphorical synthesis of a number of formal semantic elements: an entrance, a path, "endless walls" of books, mirrors, light, an exit and even the physical presence of the viewers themselves.

Books come to life in their invisible case. The shelves float in the room without taking up permanent visual residency, allowing the books to make the statement. Will do well in offices, loft spaces or anywhere where minimal design is appreciated. Place in a series or by itself.

Short circuit

Beauty is sometimes overlooked because of scale. circuit boards have a beautiful and efficient pattern that perfectly serve their function; they hold and transport digital information. These bookshelves are inspired by the form of circuit boards and they will help to contain the physical information found in books.
