When the Flip Bookshelf was designed, the goal was not simply to provide a place to stash reading materials and other miscellaneous possessions. Jonas Hoejgaard's creation affords some visual intrigue, pertaining to its contents and to its own interesting appearance.

The [Nordic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/js-thonet) Takes cubby might have been made from assembling five square panels for a cohesive and basic look, but the designer opted to make the [wall-mounted storage system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wallmounted-storage) in halves. Two square panels of either walnut wood or powder-coated metal are joined perpendicularly by a pair of triangular sections of the same material. To complete the contrasting Flip Bookshelf, you overlap the different parts together, establishing notched sides for a view within from the side.
