Deer Shelf by Bette & Cilla Eklund

toma — Sun, 06 Apr 2014 09:14:24 +0000

This impressive-looking bookshelf is inspired by the wild deer in the forest, and their noble nature, which is reflected in the appearance of the shelf. The curiosity-awaking shelf is made of solid oak, while maintaining a lightweight feel, thanks to its airy shelves. The shelf is perfect for storing books, magazines or small items.

Small bookshelf by Lenka Czereova

Small bookshelf interpreting the moment when the tree trunk is cut and falls to the ground, transforms a structure that initially looks stiff and essential, in a flexible, mobile and lively piece of furniture composed of four elements that can be stacked and fixed to each others, or used individually.

The “Bias of Thoughts” Bookshelf by John Leung

toma — Mon, 09 Dec 2013 14:20:06 +0000

Inspired by the famous 2D drawing of the optical illusive bookshelf, a 3D structure is translated and the “Bias of Thoughts” bookshelf is formed. It can be used for shelving books and iPads as well as hanging magazines. Visually, the optical illusion serves as a reminder that, whenever one picks up a medium, ideas can be misinterpreted when passed from one end to the other.

Face Shelving by Alexi Mccarthy

toma — Fri, 05 Jul 2013 14:53:21 +0000

Most of the time a very clever Art Director, sometimes a street artist and on occasion a street pole adorner, Alexi Mccarthy tried something different in creating Face Shelving and we think it’s genius. This is how the idea came about – It started from a chat my girlfriend and I were having. A year and a father-son project later, the very originally named ‘Face Shelving’ is finally done. The idea is that depending what you put in or on the shelves, you create different faces and expressions.

Soft Shelf by Yong Ju Lee and Brian Brush

toma — Sun, 14 Apr 2013 21:09:43 +0000

Softshelf is inspired by the idea of creating a bookshelf that deforms the rational cellular grid in order to create a custom occupiable, differentiated, and soft space for the storage of books and other objects. It is fully customizable by manipulating five customer controls embedded in a parametric design system: overall size of the shelf, overall geometric effect of the shrinking and expanding of boxes, the strength of this geometric effect on the entire shelf system, the curvature shape of the shelf, and the stretched shape of the boxes. Softshelf takes advantage of the rigidity and fluidity of wood combined with the precision of CNC milling technology to create a monolithic and continuous form, sturdy yet geometrically complex, and ultimately innovative.
