Modern and Creative Bookshelves Design

Hi there!! Again, this blog was a bit neglected because of my overload-activities own busywork. Okay, on this new post, I’ll share you all about BOOKS! Scratch that, I mean all about BOOKSHELVES!! Yep, even I’m not into books, but I like books pretty much. Bookshelves itselves, can be used not only to keep books arranged neatly, but also for aesthetic. So to you guys who feel bored about reading, books, and all of that stuff, just try to put one of these unique (and cute) bookshelves. Perhaps, it can lift your sense of reading, who knows?

1. The Equation Bookshelf

Designed by Marcos Breder, this bookshelf has simple idea to divide things in priority order. You can put together the books that you need immediately or more important between (parentheses) or maybe a photo, or something important for you to be the focal point of this bookshelf. Set others between [square brackets] and {braces}. Unique and stylish, isn’t it?

2. The Staircase Bookshelf

This great idea came from Tom Sloan at Levitate Architects as solution to a storage problem in London Victorian apartment. As you can see, no large space needed to put these pile of books. Just maximize the use of blind-spot, and get your space-saving bookshelf.

3. The Ceiling Bookshelf

If moments ago we’ve talked about staircase bookshelf, here come ceiling bookshelf which is as space-saving and creative as that one. Little difference here is just you need to put a stair or maybe tread on your bed to get the books down. And don’t forget to pay extra-attention in case the books falling from the ceiling. Hehe..

4. The Movement Bookshelf

Created by Samulnoli, this not-shape-like-bookshelf bookshelf is has its own unique way to put books, by hugging it!! Consisting arrangement of bent nails which can be shaped in the form of legs and arms acting as book holders, this bookshelf is fun to be used.. or played.

5. The Bookshelf with a Bench

Designed by Stanislav Katz (a designer from Latvia), this bookshelf might look cool in the eye. But, can you imagine staying on that place all day long? If it’s me, I think I’ll need counterpain in order to avoid backache.

6. The Vintage Bookshelf

This shelf is originally created by Jaren Goh Design for Munkii. For myself, I like the classic design embodied within a modern contemporary form in this shelf. Looks elegant and modern at the same time.

7. The Infinity Bookshelf

Created by the Dutch conceptual artist Job Koelewijn, the shape of this shelf resembles the number “8” and the mathematical symbol of infinity. As I cited from the source site, it’s perfectly represents the notion of the infinite potential and everlasting power of books.

8. Quasi-Hexagonal Bookshelf

This Opus Shelving by Sean Yoo’s has quasi-hexagonal pattern and made with “expanded polypropylene”- same material used for the car bumper and motorcycle helmet. It is very light but very strong, can be used indoor or outdoor and 100% recyclable. When I looked at this shelf, things like biology, xylem, floem, was just popped in my mind due to its shape which looks like plant’s cell. Well, IDK.

9. The Chair Bookshelf

This half-bookshelf half-chair was made by Elie Nehme and Mani Mani, a couple of young Canadian designers from the Fishbol Design Atelier. If you’re a person who too lazy to get your ass out while reading books, I ensure this thing is should be included on your must-have list.

10. The Rainbow Bookshelf

If from all bookshelves we talked about the unique design they have, now we’ll talk about creative way to manage it. Bookshelf above is arranged by color, which make the shelf looks attractive and beautiful. Problem here is just you’ll have to pay more attention to the book’s cover if you want to reproduce that effect and have your own rainbow bookshelf.

Oh, I also have unique bookshelf in my room. It shapes like alphabet “L”. Just take a look:
