Description
|
|
|
|
Far more than just a place to store one's books, bookcases have become experiments in engineering and covetable works of art in their own right—the Kwan bookcase from Dutch designers Studio Ditte, for example, was inspired by the way laundry is dried in China. British journalist Alex Johnson, who founded the blog Bookshelf in 2007, presents this heavily illustrated collection of the curious, the stylish, the improbable, and the bloody brilliant in bookshelves and bookcases, from "Juxtaposed"—a shelf capitalizing on limited space to display seven books about the world's most influential religions—to Sakura Adachi's "Trick," a bookcase that instantly converts into a table and two chairs.
