The beauty of this web shelf is that, while it looks complex, it's actually remarkably easy to construct. Maryam Pousti designed the storage system to include components on different angles, and the slots have been pre-cut to enable a DIY setup in just a few minutes' time.
What the Cheft Bookshelf demonstrates is that flat-packed furnishings need not look stiff, simple and geometric. The structure of this bookcase has a foundation of two focal points from which the wooden panels splay out like rays. The resultant cubbies are all sorts of different sizes and shapes that enable you to stack novels sideways and more naturally, rather than upright. This versatile and freestanding product can double as a room divider, in addition to featuring affordability, efficient shipping and aesthetic flair.
