Balancing Bookshelf

"Maintain The Balance of Your Knowledge!"

This super cool bookshelf called “Maintain The Balance of Your Knowledge!” by designer Denis Oh shifts and swings from side to side according to the placement of your books.

A simple adjustment of the placing of your books results in a dynamic change in the look of the shelf. The shelf is weighted with hanging counter-balancers that can be used to balance the shelf by moving the weights horizontally. Awesome!
