It seems I’m always on the hunt for a bookshelf of some description. I don’t like boring shelves, I want something clever and unusual.
This clever leather book shelf fits the bill beautifully and would be great for awkward spaces where you don’t really have enough wall space for a full set of shelves. The two tiers of leather straps can hold books or bottles. I’m thinking of hanging a couple as bedside tables for the books I’ve got piling up by my bed or to hold my recipe books or wine in the kitchen. It’s £89 from Rockett St George.
Also big on cleverness is this industrial style shelving unit that turns into a table. The wooden shelves can be used straight or angled and they fold out flat to form a table top. Available as a cream side table at £375 or a black dining table at £700 from Rockett St George.
I don’t know whether you’d end up using it more in its table form than its shelf form, but it would be great to clear a room by folding the table up against the wall as shelves. Do you like multi-use furniture or do you think it’s better to get two different items?
I love that hanging clever bookshelf. It does fit perfectly. How many books are they supposed to hold?
It holds up to 10kg of books, so that’s quite a few hardbacks! :)
Wow, awesome. I really love it.
