Bookshelves

The collection by Moooi is distinguished by the unusual mixture of several styles. On the one hand, it will add some vintage style to your room due to the use of traditional Frankish furniture elements and medieval decor. But on the other hand on closer examination the filigree patterns have turned into a "mess" of drawings, among which the skulls, flowers, feathers, crosses, nails, and other characters can be distinguished. Designers dedicate this collection to the philosophical idea about a dual nature of man. The painted furniture, designed by Studio Job, includes wardrobe, chest and grandfather clock. Each piece, made of solid pine stained white and painted, have a unique, hand-made quality.

It is very profitable to have multifunctional furniture in view of economy of space and comfort. But what we knew about such furniture earlier has nothing in common with what Sang A Choi has invented. Korean designer has managed one piece of furniture - Badac - to combine with functions of four different furniture items that are crafted into eight pieces. Each piece can be detached from the general construction, when necessary, and can be used independently. So the Badac is the perfect solution to someone who lives alone or in a small area room. Like a transformer, it can be turned upside down, allowing you to use it as a shelf, a lamp, a coffee table and two seats. Turning several parts or excluding some of them from the general construction, Badac can be transformed into a single bed or a large seat. On top of that it is a perfect piece of furniture for your fantasy, which will certainly allow you to come up with even newer purposes for it.

The Dutch designers from Atelier 010 have decided to change common opinion about the form of the bookshelf. They have created the "Bookworm" with a curved shape. The idea came as a sculptural answer to a commission to design an organic bookcase. The form of the case makes it possible to sit while reading or just relaxing. From the top of the worm the light bulb is hanging down, illuminating the book. For a curved shape thin layers of MDF and plywood are used, the outer side of which is spray-painted in colour whilst on the inside the case is coloured in white. Nice to look at and easy-to-use it will be suitable both for office as well as for home.

Really good for a retail space this Lenga Modular System or its independent modules will be also very suitable for an apartment spaces. Designed by Yes, oui si (Israel), it resembles a grid system, different elements of which can be moved and placed independently depending on their functions. The shelves and cabinets can be placed both on the upper and on the lower grids. The main wall can be as high and as wide as it required, so you can minimize it to provide enough storage and maximize floor space. Despite the very wide possibilities in terms of functionality, the system is thin and minimal in design and looks very neat and cozy.

A Bibliochaise, designed by nobody&co in Milan (Italy), is a type of furniture with a double functionality: it is a comfortable chair and a bookshelf at the same time. This is the best chair for the reading fans. You can arrange the books by genres, putting them in the different sides of the chair and choose the books without standing up. The bookshelf has a space for 5 meters of books, so it is a good variant to make more free space in the room by eliminating a bookcase. There are some types of Bibliochase differing by material: water varnished with a smooth finish, cotton cushions with removable cover of different colors and leather cushions with removable covers in a wide range of colors.

Roberto Saporiti and Eva Alessandrini from Italian Studio Saporiti have given the opportunity to enjoy the “ABC” bookshelf to the world. The design of this product has defined its name. The bookshelf consists of individual cubes that have various partitions within. Due to the partitions the cubes form numbers and letters, which can be organized into the sentences, as if they are written with a help of the pieces of boards. So we have a “speaking” bookshelf. On the photo below you can read a sentence “read your book case”. The cubes of three different sizes can be assembled not only into a bookcase. Using your fantasy you can construct different combinations making a table or a chair, for example.
