Bookshelf

A title that will appeal to those interested in book culture as well as furniture and interior design, 'Bookshelf' is the first publication to take bookshelf design as its subject.

From the conceptual read-unread bookshelf (which weighs books read against those still to be started) to the multi-function trick (a unit that transforms from shelf-space into a table and two chairs), 'Bookshelf' presents over 200 inventive and experimental shelving designs in more than 400 colour illustrations that are sure to covet and inspire.

Individual specification details are provided for each bookcase, including materials and documentation, and the accompanying texts by Alex Johnson, author and editor of 'The blog on the bookshelf', provide a fun and informative look at the history of the bookcase, as well as reflecting on how a new generation of designers have re-imagined a classic.
