WOKmedia’s Between Lines shelf is a unique (and wordy) alternative to a traditional wooden bookshelf. The black stainless steel is coated with rubber and it has the ability to be re-shaped in a variety of ways to fit your desires, transforming into a shelf that shows movement.
Furniture designer Brian McAlpine designs one-of-a-kind pieces using quality wood materials and a simple aesthetic. Every hand-chosen piece of wood influences each unique design and the natural defects in the wood reveal the organic nature of the material itself.
The Bookwave hanging bookshelf is a pretty neat idea. Reminds me of fish nets.
This wooden sideboard by Jenny Walsh reminds me of the furnishings that come to life in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast. This work is inspired by the energy and movement of music. Her other furniture pieces include a coffee table and a bookshelf, which also have unique identities of their own.
Lex Pott brings together industrial design and organic natural elements in these tables.
The wood processing industry works according to a fixed pattern: a tree is stripped of its branches and divided into geometric forms. Lex Pott combined these industrial, geometric forms with the original, organic structure of a tree in a series of items of furniture. Where the legs of his table meet its top, the form of a tree trunk can easily be seen. The contours are also directly derived from the tree trunk. The pieces of furniture are reproducible, yet remain a unique fragment of the natural world.
Cool suspended shelves in the Expo Bookcase designed by Umberto Asnago and available through Resource Furniture.
This distorted appearance of this large birch plywood bookshelf by dbd Studio makes for an interesting sight. In addition to being the newest storage solution in a Washington D.C. condo, it functions as a distinct art piece.
Time to Design is an opportunity for young designers to showcase their talents under the best possible conditions. It is a collaboration between The National Workshops for Arts and Crafts, Normann Copenhagen and Link UP.
The 2009 New Talent Award winner was the design duo Wai & Lanzavecchia with their collection: “SPAZIALE SERIES: New expressions of skin and structure”. It’s basically fabric stretched over wood, but the forms are kind of mind blowing.
The Emotion Lab is Barcelona’s freshest design studio formed by four up and coming designers (Tom Allen, Marta Falcón, Christian Vivanco and Yago Rodríguez) from three distinct continents. They have just launched their first collection, Inside Urban.
The Inside Urban Collection was inspired by the urban landscape. The Emotion Lab has adopted the functional urban objects and reimagined them for more personal use.
Those who enjoy a good book and a warm bath should rejoice. The Italian company Antonio Lupi created a variety of contemporary bathtubs that are fit for a bookworm. Each tub in the Biblio series includes built-in shelving that provides a good amount of book space.
