From Miron Lior, designer of the stackable Invisible Shelf, comes another artful, “invisible” way to display books. The powder-coated steel Z Shelf is a modular piece that can be arranged in a zigzag style, or an escalating shape on a wall. The front cover of any hardbound book conceals the hooks that keep the shelf in place, while a functional bracket joins the bound pages. The Z Shelf is easy to hang with built-in wall mounts, and looks best slightly askew. Your books are safe from gravity, if not prying hands.

Booksellers Tokens campaign installation
An innovative installation has been created from thousands of books to launch the new Booksellers Tokens campaign in the lead-up to the busy Christmas gift-buying season. The installation, featured inside the Auckland Domestic Airport, consists of over 1,500 real books and weighs more than 375kg, standing at a striking 1.8m tall.
The campaign uses famous literary quotes and images to celebrate the fact that no other book voucher is accepted in as many bookshops throughout New Zealand, as a Bookseller Token. The books spell out one of the campaign taglines ‘To be accepted in 350 book shops or not to be’, pictured with the famous skull of Yorick, from Shakespeare’s Hamlet.
The Booksellers Tokens installation will be hosted at the Auckland Domestic Airport until Monday 6 December 2010.

The New Memory Theater: What will be the new 'bookshelf'?
Forget what constitutes a 'book'. What will be the new 'bookshelf'?
What concerns me about the literary apocalypse that everybody now expects — the at least partial elimination of paper books in favor of digital alternatives — is not chiefly the books themselves, but the bookshelf. My fear is for the eclectic, personal collections that we bookish people assemble over the course of our lives, as well as for their grander, public step-siblings. I fear for our memory theaters.

Bookshelf
I designed this a few years ago, and with the help of my saavy father, bent, welded and painted to put this together. There are also adjustable wood blocks that help in changing and arranging the display to fit my mood or lifestyle at a particular time.

Pallet
Pallet è una libreria componibile che può essere fissata a parete o usata per dividere un ambiente, e allo stesso tempo custodisce e mette elegantemente in mostra il suo contenuto. Bellissimi anche i giochi di luce creati dalle doghe orizzontali, perfetto da inserire in un arredamento moderno. Pallet è stata realizzata in un solo pezzo ai fini della prototipazione.

Zig Zag
An extremely versatile and modular bookcase, Zig Zag makes it possible to create different furnishing solutions. The two elements that make it up can be alternated in such a way as to obtain a partitioning structure or a wall bookcase, or can be singly used to make up half-circles or columns. Each Zig Zag element can be used as self-standing and is manufactured in micro-embossed, white-lacquered MDF board. Design: Aziz Sariyer

End of an era
A comical take on the state of the print industry. As far as the balance of it goes, when all of the books are removed it is easily tipped. That is why the old encyclopedias are on the bottom shelf. Made from MDF.
