Brickshelf. May 18, 2007

Books and Bricks. I’ve been trying to find a place to put my books in my office, but all the shelving systems I’ve seen on the market are either rubbish, or too expensive. Then I stumbled upon Paul Kogelnig’s and Gabriel Heusser’s ‘Brickshelf’ at Pervisioni.
Brickshelf is based on the simplest kind of bookshelf: brick, shelf, brick, shelf, etc…the transformation of the shape of the bricks into the shape of abstracted books makes the bookshelf to become a beautiful and friendly object, without complicating it.
As the “books†are produced by extrusion, the same production run like bricks, they are available in different heights.
It’s a simple idea, that looks great. So all I need now is few planks of wood and some bricks, and I’ve got a piece of modern design for a bookself!
