BookShelf Adjusts Shape to Contents

Elastica BookShelf

I like the concept of this bookshelf which dynamically adjusts its shape to whatevere you put inside it. The Elastica Bookshelf, designed by Arianna Vivenzio, is basically a large elastic bandage stretched around 2 metal posts that are permanently fixed to the wall.

The design allows you to fit a variety of different sized objects inside, such as books, CDs, DVDs, trinkets and even boxes full of smaller items. The shelf takes a different shape as you change its contents.
