Biblioteca Bookrack: From Two Tables Comes One Shelf

Designer Matt Carr found found two vintage coffee tables and was inspired to create a bookrack for his own home. Earning points for recycling and keepin' it green (possibly saving the tables from the landfill), he configured them into the Biblioteca Bookrack, offered by Umbra.

The shelves have a natural mahogany top and black lacquered legs. Dimensions: 44" x 37" x 11" (111 cm x 93 cm x 20 cm).

$525 on the Umbra site, but pssst, Unica Home offers it for $500.

See the gallery below for more views.

Karim Rashid Shimmer Bowl

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Decor

Silver is the most reflective of the precious metals and that's shown off to great effect with the latest design from Karim Rashid for Umbra. Instead of his often more blob-like styles this one is all angles which capture light and send it dancing. The piece is handcrafted by silversmiths and sells for $400.
