Levitating Sci-Fi Shelves

'Dave’s Geeky Ideas' Released a Conceptual X-Men Shelf That "Floats"

— June 11, 2014 — Art & Design
Dave Delisle of Dave's Geeky Ideas recently came up with the idea for an awesome piece of X-Men merchandise. The shelf is in homage to Magneto's powers. The villainous Magneto can use his magnetic powers to levitate things, and he is doing just that with the book shelf and its contents.

The shelf is perfect to hold any Blu-Ray discs, but it is best suited with the entire X-Men film franchise. It is a perfect way to display your inner geek and it will truly will be the last stand you'll ever need to display your X-Men movies on.

The stand's clear plastic and glass would give the illusion its Blu-Rays are being levitated by Magneto, who also appears to be floating.
Trend Themes
1. Levitation-inspired Merchandise - Opportunity to create more merchandise that incorporates levitation into its design, possibly using magnets or other technology.
2. Innovative Display Shelves - Opportunity to create more creative and visually appealing display shelves that are not only functional but also serve as decorative pieces.
3. Geek-focused Home Decor - Opportunity to tap into the market of geek and pop culture enthusiasts for unique and quirky home decor items.
Industry Implications
1. Home Decor - Innovative and geeky home decor items can be an untapped market opportunity for companies and entrepreneurs.
2. Entertainment Merchandise - Licensing deals with popular franchises can lead to the creation of more unique and innovative merchandise items.
3. Furniture Design - Opportunity to incorporate creative designs and technology into everyday furniture items to create unique and visually appealing pieces.
