Bookshelf

On the same website as below I discovered this splendid bookshelf design, which I thought looked great, very unique, obviously it comes with its problems - have to keep the same books there.
It has been designed by Mike and Maaike, the main idea is to create all the books at the same height, hence saying each book is just as important as the other, no one book reigns the shelf.

There are also more bookshelves produced by other designers including one made with a pogo stick and one that makes the books appear as if they are floating. Some great product design.

B.I.O

B.I.O or "Bendable Interior Objects" by Form Us With Love www.formuswithlove.se
These were a design concept developed by 'Form Us With love' who are a design studio set up in Sweden in 2005.
Its interesting to think you could almost make anything out of paper/card; its very much like origami, which a lot of their work seem to stems from.
Visually it may not be very attractive - a bit too structual/industrial maybe - but it would most likely catch your eye if you turned up to a hotel reception and all the furniture was made like this don't you think...
