Lighthouse travelling library

Lighthouses were often time located in remote areas and as such had no access to city services such as libraries, opera houses, entertainment, etc. that most people enjoyed who lived in a town or city. As light keeping was a lonely profession in most cases supplies were brought to them by lighthouse tender ships. One of the items the tender supplied was a library box on each visit as pictured. Library boxes were filled with books and switched from station to station to supply different reading materials to the families.

Bike Shelf

Made from solid wood (in this case, Walnut) and suspended by a solid steel square rod mount, this shelf can hold both your bike, as well as anything else you want on it quite easily. If you want to just showcase your bike, that’s fine, but if you want to utilize the space for books, flowers, bike accessories, etc., that’s what it’s there for.

Paperback

Paperback is a wall system. Strength of the design is that it absorbes a minimum of space in your interior, but at the same time has a striking appearance. By completing the Paperback with books, CDs or little glass or ceramic products, it gets a very own, almost custom made chart and set of colours. Paperback can be used as a small, big or even wall-to-wall system and is standard available in white.

Levita

Column of shelves designed for OMEV company and made entirely in stainless steel. The shaped rod frame supports a series of hammered sheet metal planes, whose distance one from another grows the higher up one goes. The effect obtained is like the imaginary levitation of a series of paper sheets, beginning from an A4 ream resting on the floor, through an entirety of thin vertical lines.

Book carrier

This neat little piece of furniture not only keeps several volumes upright but lends them a whiff of class that transforms them into a decorative accent for any room. Known as book carriers, these devices mostly just sat on chests of drawers in passages bringing a vertical visual interest to storage furniture, also presumably these collections of books could more easily be carried from room to room. Made from sustainable timber and well shaped this is a little treasure! Dimensions: H11¼" x W13¾" x D11¾".

Blockshelf

The dogma behind this product is probably quite obvious: what can you do with blocks of wood and cotton rope? Using a knot traditionally used for sailing and fishing, you can pull the strings and the shelf will disassemble. It can easily be put together again. The wood is collected from a local timber importers waste bin in London and consists of over 20 sorts of untreated wood. This is the first result of the rope and wood experiments.

Circus is a hand-made shelving system inspired by the playfulness of the big top.  Each shelving unit includes up to eight colorful wire 'cages' that easily plug into the solid oak  surfaces, meaning no tools are needed for assembly.  The cages create both exterior shelf space and a small interior space where favorite objects can be highlighted. Designer Stephen Burks.

Plus One

Plus One is an additional storage container for any kind of regular shelf. Its sophisticatedly bent plywood results in an exclusive look. With a simple U-shaped tube Plus One can be attached to a shelf. Surely it doesn't add much more storage space, but helps to highlight your current folders or books in an unobstrusive way. It comes in walnut or maple feneer. Individually knitted socks for the tube not only protect the surfaces, but add an additional aesthetical level.

Reading corner

The connection between chaise-longue (day bed) and reading is rooted in our cultural consciousness. Combination between two objects to create an experience. When apart, the library "miss" the bed. In an open mode the user becomes part of the experience, and an intimate reading corner is created for him.

This system enables several compositions. The stability is given by the angle of the snap against the gravitational pull. It was designed to be completely cut into a single FSC plywood panel, for maximum use of the material. The assemblage is all done through the joints. No need for nails, screws, glue.

15,000 Bleistifte und ein Messestand

Ein Messestand stiftet auf der Leipziger Buchmesse zum lesen an. Die Gestalter Johannes Albert und Helmut Stabe haben für den Mitteldeutschen Verlag eine Messepräsentation entworfen, die mit dem Bleistift als Werbepräsent spielt, welches zugleich als wesentlicher Bestandteil des Standes in Erscheinung tritt. Messebesucher können sich nun zwischen der Entnahme eines Bleistiftes jedoch damit dem damit verbundenen Abbau des Standes entscheiden.
Das einfache und dennoch vielseitige Schreibgerät wird zum dreidimensionalen Buchdisplay und Schriftzug. Zu guter Letzt spielen Bleistifte sogar eine konstruktive Rolle: als Verbindungselement halten 315 Bleistifte acht Lochplatten passgenau zusammen.
