At first glance, the Fa.B. Bookcase looks like it was made to hold shoes not books. The hanging [fabric shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-storage) is reminiscent of common shoe organizers that hang in closets. The slimness of these fabric slots, however, will make people second guess their initial assumption. Measured perfectly for books, the Fa.B. Bookcase offers a unique way to store them in the house or office.

Created by Dede Dextrous Design, the Fa.B. Bookcase is captivatingly admirable for more reasons than its look. It boasts high function with minimal impact on the environment, which makes it very eco-friendly. Made out of birch plywood, the frame is [foldable](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-shelf), easy to assemble and has castors to conveniently push it around to other areas. The fabric is made of recyclable and stain-resistant material sturdy enough to hold the weight of books.
