# Oblique Boxy Libraries BookCaseScreenWall Provides a Slanted and Pixelated Display of Publications By Amelia Roblin | Published 2011-12-08 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookcasescreenwall References: [suckerpunchdaily](http://www.suckerpunchdaily.com/2011/11/30/bookcasescreenwall/) & [iwamotoscott](http://www.iwamotoscott.com/) Shelves were formed and are consistently used as mere braces for the collection of possessions. They tend to offer compact and efficient storage, organization and ample visibility and accessibility of their contents. Interestingly, this BookCaseScreenWall by [IwamotoScott Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chengdu-pavilion) satisfies the first two criteria, approaches the third one rather obliquely and manages to offer a couple of other unexpected advantages with its design as well. Acting as a substantial partition between the offices of its makers and the headquarters of Obscura Digital, it behaves much like a structural component and an accessory. The business next door can enjoy the benefits of using the back of the 186 powder-coated laser-cut boxes as a [pixelated projection screen](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pixels-1). On the other side of the divider, the [angled BookCaseScreenWall shelving unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv) shades books from the direct sunlight that shines into the office. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 40% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Oblique Boxy Libraries:** Designing shelving units with oblique angles and boxy structures. - **Pixelated Projection Screens:** Using laser-cut boxes as pixelated projection screens. - **Shading Shelving Units:** Creating shelving units that can shade books from direct sunlight. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects can explore the design potential of oblique angles and boxy structures in shelving units. - **Technology:** Technology companies can develop laser-cut boxes specifically designed for use as pixelated projection screens. - **Furniture:** Furniture manufacturers can design shelving units that incorporate shading elements to protect books from sunlight. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Minimalist Bookish Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-bookshelf.md) - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Video Game-Like Bookcases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tetris-bookcase.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Speaker-Inspired Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lloyd-tex.md) - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Sliding Wintery Landscape Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manhwabang-bookshelf.md) - [Ultra-Chic Wall Desks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wall-desks.md) - [Sculptural Bookshelves Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bookshelf.md)
