# Bold Barred Bookcases The Hash Bookshelf Obscures the Appearance of its Confined Contents By Amelia Roblin | Published 2015-01-05 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hash-bookshelf References: [leibal](http://leibal.com/furniture/hash/?utm_source=feedly&utm_reader=feedly&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=hash) & [linestudio.ua](http://linestudio.com.ua/gallery-category/objects) The Hash Bookshelf does something a little bit different to what you're used to seeing. Instead of exposing the spines and covers of the paperbacks and the hardcovers kept within it, this [modular storage system](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/original-modern-shelving) partially screens the view. Comprising a series of slanted slats, the unit forms a casing around its contents, as well as an open ledge for their placement. Black painted steel attached to a squared backing creates a very contemporary [wall-mounted shelving solution](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledge-shelf). Instead of acting simply as a holder and a frame for the novels inside, [Line Studio's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blackpink-original-tamagotchi) Hash Bookshelf insists on being a statement in its own right. Impressions are revealed of the reader's taste, but the materials must be access from the side of the cubby. Several of these can be arranged together and reoriented for an even more eye-catching effect. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.0/10 - Popularity: 33% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Partial Screening:** Modular storage systems that partially screens contents for creative and unique displays. - **Contemporary Shelving:** Wall-mounted shelving solutions that prioritize design and aesthetics. - **Modular Arrangements:** Modular shelving units that can be organized and rearranged for dynamic displays. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Furniture and Home Decor:** Designing and creating innovative shelving solutions for contemporary living spaces. - **Retail and Merchandising:** Using modular shelving systems to create unique and attractive product displays. - **Libraries and Educational Institutions:** Using modular shelving systems for organized and visually appealing displays of books and other materials. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Expandable Bookcase Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burrow-index-bookcase.md) - [Minimalist Bookish Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-bookshelf.md) - [Sculptural Bookshelves Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bookshelf.md) - [Abstract Jigsaw-Like Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spectator-shelf.md) - [Room-Dividing Bookshelf Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frquence-shelf.md) - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Speaker-Inspired Shelving](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lloyd-tex.md) - [Sliding Wintery Landscape Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/manhwabang-bookshelf.md) - [Twisting CGI-Designed Sideboards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookscrew-sideboard.md)
