I just love these invisible floating bookcases. They turn ordinary books and their pretty spines (which, I already love) and turns them into a kind of wall sculpture that seems to defy gravity. I found a bunch of different versions online which are quite affordable, and just had to share.
Invisible Floating Bookcases from Barnes & Noble.
I also quite like the Flying Vee Shelves from DWR;and the Cadman Spine Bookcase from West Elm.
wow!! the books really look like they are floating!! So cool!
ReplyDeleteVery cool as long as you never plan on reading them - what a PITA to get to any but the top book.
ReplyDeleteI was just browsing and found the Spine Book Tower for only 99.00 at Overstock:

Books are the one thing I really own in excess, so I welcome any idea that will allow them to do double-duty as decoration. I even use a giant bookshelf as my bed's headboard! Thanks for the lovely ideas.
ReplyDeleteThe floating shelves are very cool.

ReplyDeleteI love these! I have books stacked all over my place and I really needed bookcases. I am an artist and I really love the look...they look like art!
I know what you mean about the gloom in SF. I use to live there and it can be quite cold.

ReplyDeleteI bought some the second you posted them to your blog, and thanks to B&N 2-day free shipping, they're already installed. I can't stop looking at them. It's magic, I tell you. Furthermore, it's actually very easy to pull books from the middle without rearranging them all.
