The As If From Nowhere bookshelf is a clever creation for small spaces or people who love to host. It essentially hides an entire table set, complete with four chairs. A colorful design, both literally and figuratively, this table and chair set will liven up a space in no time. When slotted away like a puzzle into crevices created specifically for each piece, they add a subtle vibrant accent to the otherwise stark shelving unit.
Conceived by Orla Reynolds, a recent graduate from the Dublin Institute of Technology in Ireland, the As If From Nowhere bookshelf was inspired by her past ballet dancing career. She explains, "The movement from bookcase to dining is like a scene change. It transforms the space like props on a stage."
