Literature buffs will be happy they still have all their hard copy reads, in spite of e-book popularity, when they get a hold of the Magda bookshelf.

Project Artik uses the [minimalist design aesthetic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/firm-book-end) to come up with an extremely [modern shelving unit](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/qurv). The shelves are comprised of steel tubes that are lacquered with paint and have a beech wood tip. To install them, they must be [screwed onto the wall](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ledge-shelf) so books may balance on the unit. One may choose to tilt the shelves and vary the separating distance between them or make them all uniform. When the unit is filled with reading material, the Magda bookshelf becomes an eye-catching piece of art. The shelves form a disjointed ladder of all your favorite authors, making literature a central focus in your room.
