Shape-Adapting Bookshelves

This Unique Bookshelf by Hafriko Flexes to the Shape of Your Books

— November 19, 2013 — Art & Design
Chuck, a unique bookshelf designed by Hafriko, changes its shape when you put books in it. Without any books inside it, it looks like a thin line across the wall. Every book can fit into a sheet of the shelf, creating a mound-like shape. The height of each book makes each sheet carry a smooth and unique shape.

This bookshelf is truly creatively designed. The flexible sheets are wide enough to hold your books standing up or lying down, so even if you have a vast collection of books, each of them will have a space. When filled, the bookshelf looks very cool, making it a stand-alone piece that will accentuate your home decor.

The unique bookshelf by Hafriko sits neatly on the wall, keeping your books beautifully and creatively displayed and easily accessible.
