Pac-Man Book Shelf

27 Jan

“Puckman bookcase is made of shining varnished wood.  The Colour is yellow to remind the famous character of the 80ies cult videogame “the Pac-man”.  It is a solid structure easy to build on. It is possible to hang it by a practical Wooden hang.  The Puckman bookcase present a little distance from the wall to allow TV wires or other wires to pass it through.”

Goes well with their Ghosty lamp.

Normally we just post the beautiful book shelves we run across, but this set of drawers from Kent & London is worth mentioning.  And, you could put books in it.

Inspired by vintage printing blocks, this beautifully finished chest of 26 drawers is made from solid oak – the perfect place to file everything from A-Z!

Love it!

StairCASE Stepladder Bookcase

18 Sep

Conceptual designer Danny Kuo has prototyped an ingenious solution for getting to the topmost levels of a tall bookshelf with his StairCASE design. The bookshelf combines the functionality of drawers to make steps to reach the high shelves, as shown. For small apartments with high ceilings, this is a pretty ingenious space-saver. For similar storage as ladder, see how to turn your steps into drawers. The StairCASE doesn’t appear to be available for purchase, but a DIY version wouldn’t be too hard for someone out to build a new bookshelf.
