Sendai Shelving

Filed under: Decor

It's practically impossible to get too much shelf space, especially when the shelves themselves can be interesting. Although I do love the big heavy bookcases found in the studies and libraries of old homes, they just don't look very good in any other environment. But items like this Sendai Shelving from The Conran Shop are much more versatile, not to mention less obtrusive and overbearing in the smaller spaces so many of are working with. Designed by the innovative architect Toyo Ito, it's constructed of oil-varnished mahogany and alder with glass shelves. 49"x15"x75.5", $6100.

Hedi Slimane Designs Furniture

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Photographer turned furniture designer Hedi Slimane's newest endeavor into the world of office furniture is a structured and geographical one. Using ebonized stainless steel, his creations include desks, chairs, and shelves that use a pattern of angles, squares, and thin lines to create a modern minimalist appearance. Although sleek and beautiful to look at, and sure to make a statement as part of a decorating scheme, I can't say they look comfortable at all to actually sit on or use. But then, that's obviously not the point.

Suvretta Bookcase

Filed under: Decor

If you imagine this Suvretta Bookcase with full shelves, you can see that it will create a feeling of movement or flow in the books, as each shelf tilts in a different direction. The pre-set partitions make it easy to arrange books when your shelves are not full, as well. It is definitely a bookcase that should bet set up in a highly visible area, not banished to the back of the den. The case is made out of printed wood laminate and metal and measures 80 1/4" wide x 79 1/8" high x 13 3/4" deep. Price: $7,280.

Step

Filed under: Decor

In movies, the library shelves always seem to reach from floor-to-ceiling in 25-foot tall rooms and people need to use huge, rolling ladders to move around and locate the book they want. While most homes don't have a library system that is that daunting, floor-to-ceiling shelves are not uncommon and a small ladder or step is not a bad idea. Designed by by Konstantin Grcic, Step is a lightweight set of library steps, about 5-ft. high, that is safe and adds something of a distinguished look to even a simple library. There is a book rest at the top, so you can flip though volumes without climbing up and down. Price: £345 ($645).

How Does Your Shelving Grow

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

We really like modular furniture and flooring, but modular shelving, like the How Does Your Shelving Grow? set, is definitely one of our favorite manifestations of the trend. Because the shelves are all individual units, they can be arranged to form one solid, conventional looking piece, or scattered to all corners of the room. These shelves are made from steel with a powder coat finish in grey, white or khaki (green). They come in multiple sizes and prices vary depending on both the size and how many units you need.

Nurseryworks Storytime Double Bookcase

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Shown here in Light Birch and Cotton Candy colors, the Nurseryworks Storytime Double Bookcase is an inventive shelving unit that turns a simple bookcase into a work of art. Nurseryworks specializes in children's furniture, if that were not evident from the color selection, but that doesn't mean that their designs have to be confined to a playroom when they're not really child specific. Anyone could use a bookcase like this one, for example, which would provide you with an interesting layout to display books, photographs and small pieces of art or sculpture. If Cotton Candy isn't striking a chord, the unit is available in a variety of colors, including white and a pale yellow, with Dark Birch framing as well as Light. Price: $1,190.

Slim Slant Coffee Table

Filed under: Decor

The eco-friendly Slim Slant coffee table has a unique twist or, more accurately, an angle. The table is made from one of the most renewable resources in the world, bamboo, and the slanted angle of the shelf is meant to reduce stress on books' spines, meaning that they will last longer when stored there. Besides, it looks much neater to keep your books under the coffee table rather than on it. Price: $1050.
