The Invisible Bookshelf from Umbra creates a fascinating illusion of floating books on air no one’s ever seen before.
The L-shaped shelf, when attached on the wall, can easily slide one book on the ledge, which then gets smartly hidden between the book’s cover and pages. The integrated clips present beneath the ledge ensure the cover stays in place.
Now, in order to completely hide the shelf from view, you could easily stack up to 15 pound medium to large sized books and watch the magical view by yourself. The conceal, made of powder coated steel, stays under the cover and all that you see are books afloat on air. With its intelligent design and smart appearance, this unique artwork clearly sets itself apart from the general bulky bookshelves the world has seen up until now.
