# Vice Clamp Bookshelves Francesco Polare Designs the Newton Bookshelf, Adding Art to Shelving By Allison Love | Published 2010-05-03 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/newton-bookshelf References: [coolthings](http://www.coolthings.com/newton-bookshelf/) & [designspotter](http://www.designspotter.com/product/2010/04/Newton-by-Francesco-Polare.html) Bookshelves take up a lot of wall space, and more importantly are not entirely visually appealing. The Newton Bookshelf is the solution to your unappealing bookshelf needs. The Newton Bookshelf is actually a clamp that rests on two hooks that have been screwed into the wall. The industrial steel clamp holds your books in place while making your room a little more interesting to look at. The Newton Bookshelf is not so much functional as it is a piece of art to liven your room, so make sure those books you've clamped in aren't some of your faves. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.8/10 - Popularity: 34% | Activity: 12% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Home](https://www.trendhunter.com/home) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Visually Appealing Bookshelves:** Create bookshelves that serve both functional and aesthetic purposes. - **Industrial Steel Clamps:** Implement industrial steel clamps for innovative storage solutions. - **Artistic Shelving:** Combine art and functionality to create unique and visually intriguing shelving systems. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Interior Design:** Integrate visually appealing bookshelves into interior design projects. - **Home Decor:** Incorporate industrial steel clamps into innovative home decor products. - **Art and Design:** Merge art and functionality in shelving designs for the art and design industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Bookshelves Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-bookshelf.md) - [Dynamic Geometric Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cheft.md) - [Book-Storing Side Tables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bookgroove-bookrack.md) - [Dynamic Architecturally Strong Bookshelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dogma.md) - [Tech-Charging Book Holders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/haaase-liesma-bookshelf.md) - [Minimalist Bookish Shelves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minimal-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) - [Versatile Book Displays](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/penguin-x-moebe-book-stand.md)
