Today I’ve found a bookcase that catch my eye, because it is not usual, and in general things that are different catch our eyes. As you can see from these pictures a whole wall was used for this interesting bookcase, and the final result is a quite interesting bookcase, at least from my perspective. - via - Shimna

I actually like it alot. Looks like they simply installed what is typically used as wine bottle holders.
However, I think the person should be consistent with the placement of books (so they all parallel each other) so one does not have to keep moving their neck back and forth when they go to the next box.

Yes you are right this bookcase looks like wine bottle holder. I didn’t looked at this bookcase this way, but you are right.
I totally love it, it looks great!
Nice design and quiet for your eyes. More regular than a normal bookcase, i like it!
Man that looks cool! Now if only I actually had some books….
WOW I love this bookcase alot. Fabulous idea.
It is innovative that it drastically changes your environment without leaving your place. Its like new start to pep your imagination .
No need for bookends.
Interesting and cool when you see it here as a picture, but I think in real life, having to see it on my wall everyday would start to make me dizzy. It’s sort of vertigo-inducing having everything at an angle.
looks great - but it rally is a waste of space…
this is a really cool bookcase! i like it a lot.
where do they sell these? i want one!
Damn, I wish I had this one. Great thing!
This is a damn good concept. I liked it…
its great 4 storage , but how do you index them so you can read the titles and find the one you want? also i don’t think your supposed to stack books that way for the best life of the binder.
Speaking as a professional librarian, and avid book collector, it’s an elegant waste of space. Very pretty, but not for the serious bibliophile.
i like the idea.
but if you had a lot of books you would run out of space fast.
you can’t replace the origional book shelves.
(spoken in german accent) - IT IS SHIT! The case is too small for my oversized book collection. The function and form is fit for single mother romance novels.
To the German accented fellow…the cases can be constructed on a grander scale. I dare say the romance novel enthusiasts could do with a much smaller version, besides, not all romantics are single mothers you nit wit.
Pretty cool, I could do with something like that for all my books.
I did my own… woohoo!!! See it HERE!
I *LOVE* this– and my cats would, too–there would be a cubby for each one. Lighter wood would look better than darker; I’d like to use this system for my oversized art books and other books that are not the standard bookshelf-size.
very interesting to read all of your responses. a friend sent me this link.
i designed, built, and installed that bookcase about 2 years ago for a client in manhattan. the general idea is based on something he had seen in a hotel in LA.
it is by no means a perfect solution for book storage, but was a great exercise in problem solving and is a very satisfying object to experience in person. i have executed many custom pieces of this scale and it is one of my favorites. it is certainly one of a kind, and definitely not a retrofiited wine rack!
to the critics: the overal dimensions are 12′+ x 20′. it works out to almost 100 linear feet of shelf. each cubicle is 18″ x 18″ and 12″ deep (zum deutschen Kritiker: 457mm x 457mm x 305mm), so it can certainly accommodate books of the larger variety.
Eric,
I love your design & installation. Very scuptural, sleek and elegant.
I like that it would keep my wife from loading it with trinkets etc. Just books.
Eric, I absolutely love this. I just bought a house and I now am trying to figure out where I can put a shelf like this! (and where I can get one made! I am sure I cannot afford your services.) You do great work. Ignore the unimaginative, the anal-retentive indexers (I have over 5,000 books and can find exactly what I’m looking for without an index, thank you) and the just plain plain stupid, and continue to do what you do.
I love your design & installation, like the idea, elegant, fabulous, beautiful. Not the take up space.
I love your design & installation, like the idea!
love interesting bookcase - where do i buy it?
very nice…..what were the dimensions for the interesting bookcase
wow, i want one for my wall….its hot!!!….i am inspired…i am lookin for a sofa like that too….nasty….b
