Chaos Theory Bookends

Random Wood Bookshelf is Literally Random Pieces of Wood

Ever play the random game? Where you hit the random button on your calculator and yell out the different numbers that appear? Ya, me neither. But maybe Shimokawa Toru was inspired by that game when he created the Random Wood Bookshelves.

The system is not so much a shelf as it is bookends, but the Random Wood Bookshelves sure are random. Comprised of differently sized pieces of wood, the unit can certainly maintain order in random chaos.
