Industrial designer, Ahn DaeKyung comes up with LIEUL, a simple bookshelf that caters to a regular book-lover’s needs. This bookshelf design takes inspiration from the Korean consonant LIEUL, that’s indicative of infinity. Discontent over an IKEA-made shelf led Ahn to fabricate one himself. This bookshelf can hold several books, owing to pliable bands that make it wholly customizable. So, it ensures your books get a perfect niche and they never tumble down. The square-shaped bookshelf also offers a neat design with panels crafted in LG Hi-MAX. Hence, the designer goes on to claim this piece of furniture to be his magnum opus.

Moreover, if kids are there in house, I bet they would like spending more and more time studying.

Developed as a part of the Archive series that is an investigation on space and books, the “Circular Walking Bookshelf” by architect David Garcia is a cool looking bookshelf for your place, only if you don’t have young kids in your home to roll it over one another and end up with either broken bookshelf or bones. To pick a book from the top tier, all you need to do is step inside and walk to bring it down with minimum fuss.

7. Lenin Bookshelf

The idea for this design had to have been born in a eureka moment of pure improvisational genius. Designing a fragmented bookshelf concept where the individual shelves are arranged in free form is clever enough, but then they added the icing with the bookshelves being ‘books’. How nice is that? How awe filled is that creative genius? They say genius in retrospect is common sense, but how many people can honestly claim that they would’ve thought of that?

Praises aside, the construction of the bookshelves is done with metal, to give sturdy support, and then covered with the volumes of Lenin’s books to give its appearance. Also, the shelving books can be removed and read, so one doesn’t have to sacrifice precious books in making the shelves. I assume others will follow suit and make similar shelves out their favorite volumes and books. One thing is for sure, those who see any of these book bookshelves will certainly admire the ingenuity behind them.

8. WisdomTree bookshelf

Aimed straight at people who see books as a source of knowledge and emotions and not simply as decorative objects, the WisdomTree bookshelf by Spanish designer Jordi Milà resembles the growth of a plant. The bookshelf has branches and the books placed on them correspond to the fruit of knowledge, supported by pieces covered in leather. The WisdomTree bookshelf enjoys a fluid and organic shape, and offers enough space for your books and magazines. On the other hand, it makes for an eye-cathcing, artistic piece inside your reading room. Anyone who sees this bookshelf will certainly admire the ingenuity behind it.

9. Graffititek

Inspired by Parisian Graffiti art, French designer Charles Kalpakian has come up with an innovative shelf for your books and other objects that will redefine the concept of storage. Hailed as ‘Graffititek,’ the bookshelf will store books in distort order, unlike the straight lines of the regular bookshelves. The new bookshelf also features light lamps, resembling the books, that not just helps you to find the books in the dark but gives a tender setting to your place as well. Rendering a three-dimensional design, the designer has given an entirely new perspective to storage space.
