Crooked Bookcases

Lisa Sandall Creates a Slanted and Stylish Storage Unit

Designer Lisa Sandall thought there was too much
unnecessary bending when reaching for a book from a
bookshelf, so she tilted it and created the Chin Up
Storage Unit.

The Chin Up Storage Unit design by Lisa Sandall is
funny looking, as it is crooked and doesn’t quite fit
our regular idea of a bookcase, but the design is
super smart for media storage. Looking for a movie on
a bottom shelf is usually impossible, so if Chin Up
helps with that, I’m cool with a crooked design.
