Modular Arcade Bookshelves

This Floating Shelf Design Takes Inspiration from the Pac-Man Game

— October 9, 2015 — Pop Culture
If you're a fan of the retro arcade Pac-Man or grew up playing the game as a kid chances are this floating shelf design by Etsy seller trebelf is an organizational piece you'd like to show off in your home. The shelf features a modular design that turns Pac-Man's iconic yellow aesthetic into a book shelf that is ideal for keeping your favorite novels, trinkets and decor pieces.

Inspired by the legendary Pac-Man himself, this self design lives up to the character's true aesthetic. The shelf features a bright yellow coloring complete with several square shelving units that curve. Inside is a copious amount of space to house all sorts of knick-knacks. The piece can be mounted directly onto the wall making it more a work of art rather than a traditional shelf design.
