內容簡介: |
A title that will appeal to those interested in book culture
as well as furniture and interior design, Bookshelf is the first
publication to take bookshelf design as its subject. From the
conceptual Read-Unread Bookshelf which weighs books read against
those still to be started to the multi-function Trick a unit that
transforms from shelf-space into a table and two chairs, Bookshelf
presents over 200 inventive and experimental shelving designs in
more than 400 colour illustrations that are sure to covet and
inspire. Individual specification details are provided for each
bookcase, including materials and documentation, and the
accompanying texts by Alex Johnson, author and editor of The Blog
on the Bookshelf, provide a fun and informative look at the history
of the bookcase, as well as reflecting on how a new generation of
designers have re-imagined a classic. One might have presumed that,
with the advent of the e-book, the days of the bookshelf were
numbered. In fact, readers are now taking almost as much interest
in the furniture that houses their libraries as the books
themselves; if the titles in your collection are a reflection of
your personality, then so too is the design of your bookshelf.
