As a fanatic reader, I sometimes feel I would like to see my books arranged differently. I have some bookcases that are functional, providing enough space for all the books I managed to gather, but I feel the room has a common, traditional look. If you feel the same, then you’ve come to the right place…our gallery presents you 15 ideas of creative storing items that were designed with a statement of originality. Organic forms, amazing geometries, mixture of colors and materials, shapes that I would have never called them ‘functional’ for a bookcase prove to be both practical and aesthetic.
‘Equation Bookshelf’ is a simple idea of dividing things in priority order… put together the books that you need immediately or the most important items between (parentheses)! Set others between [square brackets] and {braces}.
Little humans that carry their favorite books.

Store the books under the stairs!
The infinite power of learning
The books rest on the table letting the owner pick what it’s necessary.
Dynamic and playful
