When imagining my dream apartment, the first item I go to is the bookshelves. I have always dreamed about floor to ceiling shelves holding my meticulously organized book and magazine collection. Sometimes I spend an inordant amount of time perusing furniture websites looking for that perfect bookshelf I may, someday, have the space and money to buy.
In my search, I came across two bookshelf designs I have never seen before, but they make perfect sense and now of course, I totally want one.
Stanislav Katz designed a bookshelf with a built-in reading bench seen here.
Another similar design, called “The Cave” comes from Sakura Adachi:
This unit comes with a reading light and would make a really nifty room divider for those of us with studio apartments. Of course, if you can’t afford a bigger place than a studio it’s doubtful you’ll be able to afford this bookshelf. I guess we’ll have to wait for a questionably safe Ikea-version to surface.
