Bookshelves are cool!

I was sitting around once and flicking through a House and Garden magazine, not something that I am often wont to do as I know that I will never be able to afford anything in them, but I fell in love. I saw something I had never considered before, a bookshelf which was not only a place for books but also a piece of art in and of itself.



This was years ago now, but I have never forgotten. It occurred to me that what with the wonders of the internet that I could maybe find more interesting bookshelves.. Here are the results...

Or get or make some inserts:


Or find some interesting shelving for other household items:

    What a collection of bookshelves! Really enjoyed your collection. The Ron (with an N;) Arad was one I always wanted whenever I visited Kartell. Although I wanted everything whenever I visited really. Viva la plástico!
