The 'Bookman', pictured here, is a decorative, yet functional piece of furniture, designed and sold in England by artist Kazmierz Szmauz. The construction is wooden, usually made of mahogany.
While it certainly takes more space that a traditional bookshelf, these displays are much more creative and they can add a lot of character to a rather mundane home library.
Bonus: The “Bookman†is available in three different postures, as shown on the company's website.
