A Simple, Space-Saving 'Library' by Guy Eddington

— December 3, 2009 — Art & Design
The ‘Library’ by Guy Eddington is a piece of furniture that is a bookcase, lamp and lounger in one. This would be the perfect comfy and cozy reading nook for small spaces. What separates the ‘Library’ from other bookshelves with built-in seats is the hanging reading lamp affixed to the top of the structure.

The simplistic design of ‘Library’ by Guy Eddington belies a clean design that has been executed to perfection. Through creating this three-in-one structure, Eddington was exploring the idea of personal space in combination with an adoration for literature.
