There is absolutely no need for [bookends](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-bookend) with the Twist Me! bookshelf -- just take a look inside of it. This marvelously peculiar piece of furniture is the hybrid product of ready-made components that affords great practicality.

Designed as part of the Lost & Found workshop by CA Flowers for Slovakia, this clever creation consists of a rectangular cubby that stands on four narrow legs. Inside of the compartment, you will see a pair of threaded wooden sticks. These penetrate the sides against timber nuts and have squared panels stuck to their inner ends. Because of the turned texture, the posts can be [screwed in and out](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/diy-spinning-coffee-table) of MEJD Studio's Twist Me! Shelf. Push them all the way in to touch a row of novels, supporting them from toppling over.
